“Men must read, if their ministry is not to become threadbare, thin, and a mere repetition of hackneyed commonplaces. Always taking out of their minds and never putting in, they must naturally come to the bottom. Reading alone will make a full man.”

"I’m sure Aslan would have, if you’d asked him," said Fledge

Ask for faith, grace, and a love for Him who is better.
