Reading Outside of Christian Literature

There is a great post today over on Tim Challies' blog giving a rationale for why Christians should read beyond their holy huddle of trusted Christian authors. While readily confessing that reading Christian authors is a good thing (and I certainly agree) Challies challenges us to read outside of this narrow sliver of published works. He gives 4 basic reasons for this encouragement.

1) Common Grace

2) Cultural Engagement

3) To practice discernment

4) There is much to learn
