10. MENGAPA MEMBACA?
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
Menggunakan segenap akal budi
untuk mengasihi TUHAN
11. Menggunakan segenap akal budi
untuk mengasihi TUHAN
Membaca merupakan sarana untuk
berpikir melalui pikiran orang lain;
Hal ini akan memaksa Anda
untuk merentang pikiran
Anda sendiri.
CHARLES SCRIBNER Jr.
12. Menggunakan segenap akal budi
untuk mengasihi TUHAN
Pikiran seseorang, sekali direntang-
kan oleh suatu gagasan baru,
tidak akan pernah kembali
pada ukurannya yang semula.
OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES Jr.
14. Janganlah kamu menjadi
serupa dengan dunia ini,
tetapi berubahlah oleh
pembaharuan budimu,
sehingga kamu dapat
membedakan manakah
kehendak Allah: apa yang
baik, yang berkenan kepada
Allah dan yang sempurna.
RASUL PAULUS, Roma 12:2
MENGAPA MEMBACA?
Mengalami pembaharuan
semakin serupa dengan TUHAN
15. Mengalami pembaharuan
semakin serupa dengan TUHAN
The end of learning is to repair
the ruin of our first parents
by regaining to know GOD aright,
and out of that knowledge
to love Him,
to imitate Him,
to be like Him.
JOHN MILTON,
Paradise Lost
16. “Dan kamu akan mengetahui kebenaran dan
kebenaran itu akan memerdekakan kamu” (Yoh
8:32). Perasaan senang tidak akan memerdekakan
kita. Pengalaman yang mengembirakan tidak akan
memerdekakan kita. Emosi yang
meluap-luap pun tidak akan
memerdekakan kita.
Tanpa pengetahuan
Terhadap kebenaran,
kita tidak akan merdeka.
RICHARD J. FOSTER,
Celebration of Discipline
Mengalami pembaharuan
semakin serupa dengan TUHAN
18. Mengalami pembaharuan
semakin serupa dengan TUHAN
Discipleship in Hebraic epistemology:
The process of becoming Christ-like
involves three interwoven processes:
• Orthodoxy:
Right-thinking about Christ
and the Christian faith
• Orthopraxy:
Right-action/ piety and
devotional living
• Orthopathy:
Right-feeling toward God,
self, and others

Apa keunggulan membaca dibandingkan
dengan sarana pertumbuhan lainnya?
23. In a world so easily satisfied with images,
it’s too easy to waste our lives watching mindless
television and squandering our free time away
with entertainment.
We have a higher calling.
God has called us to live our lives
by faith and not by sight—
and this can mean nothing less
than committing our lives to the
pursuit of language, revelation,
and great books.
TONY REINKE, Lit!

Mode Membaca
43. What I have learned from about 20 years of
serious reading is this:
It is sentences that change my life, not books.
What changes my life is some new glimpse of
truth, some powerful challenge, some
resolution to a long-standing dillema, and
these usually come concentrated in a
sentence or two. I do not remember 99% of
what I read, but if the 1% of each book or
article I do remember is a life-changing
insight, then I don’t begrudge the 99%.
JOHN PIPER
Marginalia
45. 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.
Membaca Bersama
46. • Buat rencana—yang sesuai dengan gaya hidup
Anda—untuk secara teratur belajar dari bacaan.
• Biasakan sedang membaca satu atau beberapa buku.
• Milikilah sejumlah buku yang belum dibaca, untuk
dibaca pada saat yang tepat di kemudian hari.
• Usahakan membaca buku dari berbagai kategori dan
sudut pandang.
• Mengikuti buku-buku terbitan baru dengan secara
regular melihat-lihat di toko buku, membaca resensi
buku di majalah/koran, meminta katalog.
• Menciptakan kondisi di mana Anda termotivasi, atau
bahkan terdesak, untuk membaca, misalnya sebagai
persiapan presentasi atau diskusi topik tertentu
• Bentuk komunitas pembaca buku untuk saling
memberi saran dan mendiskusikan bacaan.
Saran-saran praktis lainnya
48. The problem is not that we
don’t have time to read,
but that we don’t have the
desire to read.
So learn to love reading—
because it’s easier to find
time to do what you love
to do.
TONY REINKE, Lit!
Love Reading
49. Happy Reading
Aim to become
a reader who sits
down late in the
evening after
a long day and
grabs for a book
to relax.
