Comment on What To Do With Books I Own In Multiple Formats? by Tim Farley

I definitely prefer a real book, especially for extended reading. However, most of the books I buy now are ebooks. It is just much more convenient for me. I am thinking about getting rid of the hard copies of the ones that are not favorites and that I am not turning to frequently (many of my books are reference works that I use in Bible study). But I do have a little fear that 10 or 20 years from now my ebooks will be unusable. Anyone else share this fear?

I look at it this way, if it is a book that you really like (or dare I say it love?) then by all means keep it. However, if it’s a book that is kind of average or something you could easily part with then I would get rid of it. You could get most books from the library if your electronic device defects later, right?

I think it is always worth it to keep the hardcover around, even if you have the e-book. I often buy physical copies of books I first read on an e-reader. I like having the real book, and prefer reading off of a page. Plus you never have to worry about if your physical book has been charged or not.

Ranita: No. This was an answer to a question that came up from the first post. Unfortunately, I have not been able to put the time into this blog that I would like, which is why there has been no Part 3.

Was this the part 2 you were describing in part 1?

Hi Davo. Good to see that someone is still reading, even after all of these months of inactivity.

Interesting question. The Greek word for spirit is “pneuma” and is actually neuter, not feminine. However, when Scripture uses a personal pronoun to speak of the Holy Spirit it uses “he” or “him”. Check out John 16:7-15 for an example of this.

When you say, “This is why the Spirit is a ‘he’ and not an ‘it’”… don’t you mean “she.” My understanding was that the word for the Spirit was feminine.
