Do you remember the young man who read a book on missions and afterwards felt deeply moved, completely qualified, and ready to dive into the adventure of overseas missions? Do you remember the young woman who read a book on adoption and orphan care and watched a few YouTube videos and was overtaken by emotion as she ran up and down, from family to family member, friend to friend, and church to church raising money to go give her life to God serving orphans in Africa?
These young people are my family. I am one of them. Exactly like them.
A spurt of inspiration here,
A wisp of knowledge there,
An ounce of insight here,
And we are ready to go. How I wish we were different. That wisdom was also a member of our family.
I call my family, the one book family. We are one book experts. All it takes for us to declare ourselves as experts in a field is to read just one book on the subject.
Are you a member of my family?
