Dear Brother Peter
May I congratulate you on your August special issue, which provides a great deal of helpful advice for reading the word of God. The best way to get to know God’s word, of course, is to put it into practice. Only when one has turned the other cheek or tried to love one’s enemies do such commandments take on their true meaning, in a way that desk-bound study will never achieve. This gives hope to all of us who consider ourselves not to be especially studious — everyone of us can attempt putting these teachings into practice. As the Psalmist says, “I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts”.
Through its second hand book service the Christadelphian Office (www. thechristadelphian.com) is still able to supply a number of the titles mentioned, including Harrington-Lees’ “The Joy of Bible Study”.
