Home Men Marriage Pastors Recommended Reading Client Information A View from the Summit

Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested;
that is, some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not with great care;
some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention.
(Francis Bacon 1561–1626)
