"Now the layman or amateur needs to be instructed
as well as to be exhorted. In this age his need for knowledge is
particularly pressing. Nor would I admit any sharp division
between the two kinds of book. For my own part I tend to find the
doctrinal books often more helpful in devotion than the devotional
books, and I rather suspect that the same experience may await many
others. I believe that many who find that 'nothing happens' when
they sit down, or kneel down, to a book of devotion, would find
that the heart sings unbidden while they are working their way
through a tough bit of theology with a pipe in their teeth and a
pencil in their hand."

Love this, somehow it seems a bit more eloquent than my rendition/summary of it, lol. Going to print this out.
