Quote: Thomas Watson on books
"Get books into your houses, when you have not the spring near you, then get water into your cisterns; so when you have not that wholesome preaching that you desire, good books are cisterns that hold the water of life in them to refresh you.... So when you find a chillness upon your souls, and that your former heat begins to abate, ply yourselves with warm clothes, get those good books that may acquaint you with such truths as may warm and affect your hearts." (Thomas Watson - 1662)

Excellent quote concerning books... thanks for the encouragement
Great quote by my favorite Puritan of all time. Where did you find it? I thought I had read everything he ever wrote.
I found it at http://www.desiringgodstore.org/store/index.cgi?cmd=view_category&id=1, but have seen it other places. Thanks for visiting the site! Come back!
