Quote on How Books Shape Us

"You will be the same person in five years as you are today except for the people you meet and the books you read."

(Charles Jones, quoted in Mark McNees' Immersion: Live the Life God Envisioned for You)

I like this quote because I agree that good books shape us.  Life experiences do to.  Ultimately, God uses books, people and experiences to do the shaping - if we let Him.
