'As the apostle says to Timothy, so also he says to everyone, 'Give yourself to reading.' He who will not use the thoughts of other men's brains proves that he has no brains of his own. You need to read. Renounce as much as you will all light literature, but study as much as possible sound theological works, especially the Puritanic writers, and expositions of the Bible. The best way for you to spend your leisure is to be either reading or praying.'

About this narration This narration has an interesting story behind it. I sent a copy of it on tape about 5 years ago as a sample narration to the webmaster of a popular Christian site that offered narrated books, such as the sermons of Jonathan Edwards. I was offering to narrate books, for the web site. I was turned down because my narrations were too passionate in his opinion!
I am thankful for Sermon Audio as a medium to put narrated books, and also for SWRB for putting these old narrations here.. This book by Gardiner Spring is like Edwards' Treatise on the Religious Affections, but easier to apply since parts of Edwards' treatise is quite subjective.
