Ecclesiastes 12:12 says, "And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh."
It's interesting that the wisest man to ever have lived thinks there'll never be a shortage of books. He doesn't elaborate on what kinds of books in particular, but I think we can agree they won't all be Bibles. Something in the works right now at Jaffrey Bible House is a Christian book club. It's not a Bible study, though if you've got some interested folks we can definitely get that ball rolling too. No, this would be more like a critical book study where we read through chapters on our own time and then get together once a week or so to discuss the insights or observations made by the author and the biblical accuracy (or inaccuracy) thereof. Trust us, there's as many fluff-filled bestsellers as there are hidden gems out there, and we'd love to discover them together!
That's as far as we've got so far, so check back often to see what's up. If you have any good suggestions you can let us know too (via phone, e-mail or Facebook). Continue to hold the store up in prayer, as things are really starting too get tight - by this we know God will be glorified all the more! Our prayer meetings are just awesome too, and you should all stop by if you can (Fridays at noon and Tuesdays at six)!
Blessings!
