Inheritance from our forefathers
I love reading the books of great Christian men and women from many years ago. There’s good stuff being written today, of course, too. But I benefit from the wisdom and experience of the giants of the faith from 50, 100, even 200 years ago. CS Lewis, Charles Finney, Andrew Murray, John G. Lake, Charles Spurgeon, Smith Wigglesworth, A.W. Tozer, just to name a few. I’d encourage you read a broad spectrum of Christian perspectives – such as the list above. You might be surprised how God can speak to you from someone outside your usual circle of focus.
Lately, I’ve been listening to some old cassette tapes (gasp!) by Lester Sumrall. Wow, that man was anointed. Such a sweet, gentlemanly spirit, but such powerful faith. He’s got a lifetime of amazing stories. You can enjoy some of them in this book.
What have you been reading lately? I’d love to hear what’s been inspiring you.
