"Owen did not write for superficial readers. He wrote rather for those who, once they take up a subject cannot rest until they see to the bottom of it and who find exhaustiveness not exhausting but satisfying and refreshing".
J I Packer - "Among God's Giants" - Kingsway (1993) - (p253).
"The man who never reads will never be read. He who never quotes will never be quoted. He who will not use the thoughts of other men's brains proves that he has no brains of his own ... You need to read" - C H Spurgeon. "To fail to learn from the pulpit of the past is to impoverish that of the present" - Tony Sargent
