A little over a week ago at our local library I noticed this hugely delightful book. It’s called Spine Poems: An Eclectic Collection of Found Verse for Book Lovers. It must have taken a vast amount of work, because it’s a thick book, and the contents range from hilarious to thoughtful.

The premise is simple—get a whole lot of books together and see if their spines’ titles can be stacked together in an order which means something. The above photo is my favorite of the pages I flipped through.

Even though I got a kick out of flipping through these pages, I know—and you probably do too—that this is not how to arrive at truth. And gathering a lot of miscellaneous Bible verses together isn’t the best way to arrive at God’s core wisdom.

How can we properly study the Bible? The link below gives seven principles, and goes into depth with each one. Check it out!
