When you read a book, do you read it from cover to cover?
Or, do you start to read it and then come across something you don’t particularly agree with… and put it down?
Or perhaps you never read it at all, because you heard somewhere that it has some “questionable parts?”
Neither approach is ultimately right or wrong, except when it comes to reading… biographies.
How do you read people?
Perhaps you never read them at all, because you heard somewhere that they have some “questionable parts.”
Or perhaps you do start to read them, but then come across something you don’t particularly agree with… and put them down… literally.
Or perhaps, you read them from cover to cover, investing a little, discovering their story, from their past to their present. Yes, there may be some questionable chapters, but one chapter doth not make the whole story. In fact, one bad chapter often sets the stage for marvelous discoveries in the next.
Oh, that we were known as people who carefully read one another’s pages, even choosing to be written into another’s story by the Author we have in common.
