Reflections

Much of the reading we do in everyday life is for acquiring information. We read the newspaper to learn about current events, stock prices, or sports scores. Often we read books this way too…even the Bible.  We read to know who did what, when and why. While reading for information is important, it’s equally important to read for formation. Reading for formation is paying attention to what is happening to you and for you through your reading. This kind of formative spiritual reading is an essential discipline in the Christian life, and, over time, will be transformational for your life and spiritual journey. (http://www.b-ing.org)
