Recently my brother gave me a book by Dr. Phillip Schaff entitled 'The Person of Christ' available at Granted Ministries . I am not very far into the book and have already discovered it to be very good. This quote is from the second chapter.
"Every book of man loses its interest after repeated reading: but the Gospel of Jesus never wearies, it becomes more interesting the more it is read, and grows deeper at every attempt to fathom its depth. Even Napoleon is reported to have said on St. Helena, pointing to a copy of the Testament on his table: "I never tire with reading it, and I read it daily with equal delight. The Gospel is not a book, but a living power which overwhelms every opposing force. The soul which is captivated by the beauty of the Gospel does no more belong to itself or to the world, but to God. What an evidence is this of the divinity of Christ!"
