There are a lot of good Christian books & commentaries out there. There are also a lot of misleading Christian books & commentaries. I have a few that I highly encourage & have read through quite a few times, but I can't find nourishment for my soul by reading Christian books & commentaries. In order to maintain a healthy spiritual diet it is critical that we spend time seeking the Lord's presence, reading our Bibles, & praying. The thing about Christian books & commentaries is that they are a person's opinion. A person's opinion- people prone to expressing their thoughts as "truth" instead of "a possible interpretation". Everything that I hear I seek out for myself in my Bible. When I hear something that I know isn't of the Lord I don't keep perverting my mind with that person's opinions hoping to hear something "good"- a little leaven ruins the WHOLE batch. Our spiritual selves are craving something of substance that can ONLY be satisfied with the Word of God. We've become a generation that needs to be entertained instead of one that can dig in deep & discover the revelations in the Word.
I want to be a part of a generation that seeks the face of God & the culture of Heaven instead of feeding an appetite for tolerance.
My encouragement for you is to crack open your Bibles & find out what the Word of God says for yourself.
Don't be mislead.
