This is great! [Mark Dever here explains](http://www.westernseminary.edu/transformedblog/2012/06/20/creating-a-reading-culture-in-your-church/) what he does to create a culture of reading in his church. Can you imagine what would happen if we put his advice to work in our Mennonite churches over the next 15, 25 years? The only person I know well who has come close to following this advice is Allen Roth (former lead pastor at [Followers of Jesus Mennonite Church](http://www.fjmcny.org/) in NYC), to whom I owe much of my growing passion for reading scholarly biblical literature, and who is a wonderful model of being a continual learner.
