Read the whole post, but here are some highlights:
- Reading good books teaches boys how to communicate clearly, concisely and even powerfully.
- Reading good books teaches boys how to think in a linear fashion, which, in turn, will help them learn how to properly interpret the storyline of Scripture.
- Reading good books, particularly thoughtful fiction, fills their imaginations with dragons and giants and castles and swords and other characters they will encounter in the unfolding drama of God's redeeming love in Christ.
- Reading good books teaches boys how to understand the world around them and prepares them for leadership in the culture, the church and in the home.
- Reading good books, particularly about history, helps boys to develop a deeper respect for others as he encounters those who have waged wars against tyranny, reformed churches, laid down their lives for the Gospel, broken down racial barriers and discovered far-fetched lands
