Favorite Tony Reinke Quotes

1. "Stories arrest us. Parents use stories to capture the attention of active children. Preachers use stories to capture the attention of sleepy adults." ~ Tony Reinke

2. "If we neglect Scripture in order to read only other books, we not only cut ourselves from the divine umbilical cord that feeds our souls, we also cut ourselves from the truth that makes it possible for us to benefit from the truth, goodness, and beauty in the books that we read." ~ Tony Reinke

3. "Currently, the Library of Congress houses eighteen million books. American publishers add another two hundred thousand titles to this stack each year. This means that at the current publishing rate, ten million new books will be added in the next fifty years. Add together the dusty LOC volumes with the shiny new and forthcoming books, and you get a bookshelf-warping total of twenty-eight million books available for an English reader in the next fifty years! But you can read only 2,600 - because you are a wildly ambitious book devourer. ... For every one book that you choose to read, you must ignore ten thousand other books simply because you don't have the time (or money!)." ~ Tony Reinke

4. "We get one chance at this life. We have one body, one mind, and one life to live. Reading provides us with a vicarious experience of others' lives." ~ Tony Reinke

5. "The lesson I have learned is that a failure to cultivate the imagination leads to an unintended neglect of the imaginative literature of Scripture, and this in turn leads to some degree of spiritual atrophy. For Christians, the stories of Revelation are not optional reading. Nor are they child's play. Imaginative literature--the kind of literature that invites us to see in our imaginations what we cannot see with our eyes--is an important part of the Christian's literary diet. It challenges our idols. It challenges what is false and trivial in our lives." ~ Tony Reinke

6. "Our goal is not to finish a book, or merely to talk about a book, but to use our books to grow Christlike character" ~ Tony Reinke

7. "Sin blinds our hearts to the true meaning and purpose of the Bible, even if we carry well-highlighted copies in our hands." ~ Tony Reinke
