They had a little library of books, and they encouraged us to pick a book for reading in the times we were not in class. There was no Television on the Ranch, it was also before the days of social media or smart phones for that matter. The ages of the group ranged from eighteen to forty two (me). My room-mate was in her early thirties. After dinner, she spent most evenings with the young students, playing games and having fun.

 

But that was not what I wanted from my experience at the Ranch, and so I spent my nights alone reading. There were two families as well. One with three kids and the other with one child. They spent most of their time with their kids.

 

The book I chose was ‘The Pursuit of God’ by A.W. Tozer. This book changed my life, big time! I copied the part in the book that meant so much to me. Every time I read it, it stirs all kinds of emotions in me. Apologies for the archaic English.
