In this two and a half minute clip, Randy talks about how God’s grace has actually raised the bar of standards for the Christian life, but at the same time God has empowered us to live a life focused on Christ in order to jump that bar. (from Desiring God's Don't Waste Your Life)
Randy Alcorn talks about the variety in readership of his books. Interviewer: Randy's Executive Assistant, Kathy Norquist.
Reading rates are down even as literacy rises. Americans can read; we just don’t.

Serious books for serious minds are usually relegated to the back of the bookstore (or occasionally in the bargain bin!).
Several years ago, I began setting a goal of reading 100 books a year. That’s roughly two books a week. 2007 was the first year I met the quota.

Read only the best books. Do not neglect books. Do not neglect THE Book.
I would recommend James Scott Bell (courtroom stuff—think John Grisham) and Al Gansky (high-tech adventure—think Tom Clancy).
