Quote★★★★

The Bible is useful to all sorts of persons. A worldling should often read Ecclesiastes; a devout person, the Psalms; an afflicted person, Job; a preacher, Timothy and Titus; a backslider, the Hebrews; a libertine, Peter, James, and Jude; a man that would study providence, Esther; and those who are engaged in great undertakings, Nehemiah.
