The importance of a book isn’t where we place it on the bookshelf. Rather, the value in a book is how often it’s off the shelf.
When we read an important book, we absorb what it says. It becomes part of us. We think over the stories, ponder the what next, and want to return to it again and again.
Our lives change because of the book, well, because of the contents of the book and what it means to us.
So, what’s our important book? Shakespeare? That’s a very good choice. Many people consider it the holy grail of literature, placing it right up there with the Bible as one of the greatest works in human history.
Psalm 1:2 tells us:
“But [our Lord’s] delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law does he meditate day and night.”
Where do we find “the law of the Lord”? Clearly, this passage is speaking of God’s Holy Word. Does the Bible fit our standard of an important book? Does it become a part of us when we read it? Do we think over the stories, ponder how the message fits into our lives, and return to it to read it again and again?
If the Bible has changed our life, more than any other, then it’s the most important book out there. Let’s get it off the shelf and read it again.
