“Books are never harmless...they either strengthen us or they weaken us in our faith. Some of them do this even as they entertain us, others as they teach us.

They can bring the greatest benefits and the greatest ruin, for from their ideas that they spread come the deeds of the future.” WayHeartBookIdeasSoulSpiritHealingTeachTeachingBenefitsDeedsSpreadInvisibleRuinsPenetrateHeart And SoulPoisonousInhaleVapor Author:Peter Prange
