Welcome! We are so glad that you decided to join us on this adventure. This blog is the brainchild of a late night conversation, where two friends decided to sharpen and encourage one another. Recognizing both our love for scripture and for scolarship, this seemed like a natural endeavor. We hope you will check in with us from time to time. Madison is going to give a great post coming up on the reasoning behind the name of our blog, but I wanted to show you guys where I got the idea for the name. It actually comes from this anonymous poem, that has really help to shape and focus how I think about my ministry. Hope you enjoy it.
There’s just one Book,” cried the dying sage,
Read me the old, old story.”
And the winged words that can never age
Wafted him home to Glory.
There’s just one Book.
There’s just one Book for the tender years,
One Book alone for guiding
The little feet through the joys and fears,
The unknown days are hiding.
There’s just one Book.
There’s just one Book for the bridal hour,
One Book of love’s own coining;
Its truths alone lend beauty and power,
To vows that lives are joining.
There’s just one Book.
There’s just one Book for life’s gladness,
One Book for the toilsome days,
One Book that can cure life’s madness,
One Book that can voice life’s praise.
There’s just one Book.
There’s just one Book for the dying,
One Book for the starting tears,
And one for the soul that is going home,For the measureless years.
There’s just one Book.
