17. Kasihilah Tuhan,
Allahmu, dengan
segenap hatimu
dan dengan
segenap jiwamu
dan dengan
segenap akal budimu
dan dengan
segenap kekuatanmu.
TUHAN YESUS KRISTUS, Markus 12:30
18. Tujuan dari belajar adalah untuk
memperbaiki kehancuran dari nenek
moyang kita dengan kembali dapat
mengenal TUHAN dengan benar,
dan dari pengenalan itu kita
mengasihi Dia,
mengikuti Dia,
menyerupai Dia.
JOHN MILTON,
Paradise Lost
19. Tuhan yang tidak
dikenal tidak dapat
dipercayai
dicintai
dilayani
dipuji
disembah
dengan sejati
dan segenap hati
21. Hatimu bertumbuh dengan memberi,
pikiranmu bertumbuh dengan menerima;
keduanya diperlukan untuk pelayanan
yang sehat dan seimbang.
Para pelayan Kristen yang enggan
membaca tidak sedang mengisi
bahan bakar untuk pikiran dan
nutrisi bagi jiwa, sehingga mereka
hanya berputar-putar dalam
mengembangkan pelayanan
mereka seperti jaring laba-laba. ...
WARREN WIERSBE
22. Lebah memiliki pendekatan
yang lebih baik.
Mereka mengumpulkan
serbuk sari dari berbagai
sumber namun memproduksi
madu mereka sendiri.
Kebanyakan orang akan
memilih mendapatkan madu
daripada jaring laba-laba.
WARREN WIERSBE
33. ORANG LAIN

36. Alkitab merupakan buku teragung;
mempelajarinya merupakan usaha termulia;
memahaminya merupakan sasaran tertinggi.
CHARLES C. RYRIE
37. 2 TIMOTIUS 4:13
Jika engkau ke mari
bawa juga jubah
yang kutinggalkan
di Troas di rumah
Karpus dan juga
kitab-kitabku,
terutama
perkamen itu.
38. Buku yang baik melengkapi asupan
yang kita peroleh dari Kitab Suci.
Kita melihat kebenaran-kebenaran
diwujudkan dan diterapkan.
Kita ditolong untuk memahami
diri sendiri dan orang lain.
Kita direntang untuk menyelami sudut
pandang yang berbeda dan menilainya
dalam terang Firman Tuhan.

MORTIMER J. ADLER
54.
55. 1. Tetapkan waktu untuk membaca
setiap hari.
2. Siapkan diri dan mohonkan Tuhan
mengubah hati melalui bacaan.
3. Bacalah dengan santai, serius, dan atentif.
4. Tangkaplah pemahaman (terang) dan
perasaan (panas) dari isi bacaan.
5. Panjatkan doa singkat agar Tuhan
menumbuhkan apa yang telah “ditanam
dan disiram”.
58. Hal yang saya pelajari dari sekitar 20 tahun
membaca secara serius adalah: Yang mengubah
hidup saya adalah kalimat, bukan buku.
Yang mengubahkan saya adalah percikan
kebenaran baru, tantangan yang kuat, resolusi
dari dilema lama-tak-terpecahkan, dan biasanya
semua ini terkristal dalam satu atau dua kalimat.
Saya tidak ingat 99% apa yang saya baca,
namun jika 1% dari setiap bacaan yang saya ingat
adalah gagasan yang mengubah hidup,
saya tidak akan yang merisaukan yang 99%.
JOHN PIPER, A Godward Life
59. God is most glorified in us when we are
most satisfied in him.
The debate between duty and delight
doesn't truly exist: Delight is our duty.
60. Your marriage is more than a sacred covenant
with another person. It is a spiritual discipline
designed to help you know God better, trust
him more fully, and love him more deeply.
What if god designed marriage to make us
holy more than to make us happy?
61. The gospel says you are more sinful and
flawed than you ever dared believe,
but more accepted and loved in Jesus
Christ than you ever dared hope.
62. Our greatest fear should not be of failure
but of succeeding at things in life that
don't really matter.
God's definition of what matters is pretty
straightforward. It is about loving God and
loving the people he has made.
63. I cannot imagine how religious persons can
live satisfied without the practice of the
presence of God.
There is not in the world a kind of life more
sweet and delightful, than that of a continual
conversation with God; those only can
comprehend it who practice and experience it.
64. Jika kita menemukan suatu hal yang
berharga, kita punya kesempatan
membagikannya.
Jika kita kurang memahami dan
menghayati, kita punya kesempatan
dikoreksi dan belajar dari orang lain.

71. 1. Bicara lebih sedikit. (Kurangi perampok waktu
lainnya: TV, email, social media, game).

5. Bawa buku dalam tas Anda.
6. Selalu siap membawa buku jika ada janji bertemu
dengan orang sering ngaret.
75. 7. Bawa buku jika Anda pergi ke rumah sakit, rumah
makan, atau ke salon. Ngapain baca majalah
mereka yang sudah kadaluwarsa?
8. Simpan sebuah buku yang belum dibaca di dalam
mobil, kalau-kalau terjadi kemacetan lalu-lintas
atau menunggu reparasi di bengkel.
9. Jangan pernah melakukan perjalanan luar kota
tanpa sebuah buku; selalu ada kemungkinan Anda
akan duduk di samping orang yang tidak
menyenangkan.
10. Ingatlah bahwa satu buah buku di tangan nilainya
lebih dari dua buah buku di rak.
76. Hal apakah dalam
hidup Anda yang
Anda perlu hentikan
atau lebih sedikit
lakukan
supaya Anda dapat
memulai atau lebih
banyak membaca?
77.
78. • Biasakan sedang membaca satu atau beberapa
buku.
• Milikilah sejumlah buku yang belum dibaca,
untuk dibaca pada saat yang tepat.
• Usahakan membaca buku dari berbagai
kategori dan sudut pandang.
• Menciptakan kondisi di mana Anda termotivasi,
atau bahkan terdesak, untuk membaca,
misalnya sebagai persiapan presentasi/diskusi.
• Bentuk komunitas pembaca untuk saling
berbagi penemuan, pertanyaan, dan
penerapan.
86. Masalahnya bukanlah karena kita tidak
punya waktu untuk membaca, namun
karena kita tidak punya gairah untuk
membaca.
Jadi belajarlah untuk cinta baca,
karena Anda lebih mudah
mendapatkan waktu untuk
melakukan apa yang Anda
gemar melakukannya.
TONY REINKE, Lit!
87. Bayangkanlah Anda
menjadi seorang
pembaca yang duduk
larut malam setelah
melewati hari yang
panjang dan
mengambil buku dan
minuman hangat untuk
menikmati waktu
bersama Tuhan ...
