Oswald Chambers Book Quotations

The Bible is not a book that you can open and say, 'Now, Lord, put some magic into my soul that will open up the meaning of this book.' There is only one way really to understand the Word, and that is through wrestling with the circumstances and happenings of life.

A good book, in the language of the book-sellers, is a salable one; in that of the curious, a scarce one; in that of men of sense, a useful and instructive one.

We should always choose our books as God chooses our friends, just a bit beyond us, so that we have to do our level best to keep up with them.
