This is taken from Jokim Schnoebbe’s blog, he is also known as the Author Jacob Schriftman. I first met Jokim a few years back in South Africa and we traveled together for a teaching tour in the far east. We also lived together here in Sweden for a few months where we both were involved in a course with YWAM. He is a talented speaker,artist,teacher,author,father,husband and fotball player (and a few other things). I warmly recommend his work.You can read more about him on his site schriftman.net and purchase his books on Amazon as Jacob Schriftman or as Jokim Schnoebbe. I will share a few of his blog entries here from time to time, Enjoy!

British writer and literary critic C.S. Lewis was a Christian who did not overly protect his faith. His reading habits especially exemplify this. Unlike some Christians, he did not only read Christian literature but almost anything. He especially liked imaginative literature and approached it unlike many other Christians.

The narrow-minded Christian, if he reads imaginative literature at all, values it only for telling him truths about life—not truths, however, which he does not yet know, but only confirmations of his preconceived ideas. Those are the only ideas his faith-based narrow-mindedness will permit.

This leads him, of course, to limit his appreciation of authors to those who confirm his own views.
