About This Quote
In an interview with the New York Times, author Cormac McCarthy said, “Reading the Bible will help you get to know the word, but it’s when you put it down and live your life that you get to know the author.” This quote is a reminder that the Bible is a book about how to live a life of meaning and value, not just a list of rules. That’s what makes it so important to live our lives as if it were written for us.
