I usually have several books open at once, but at the moment only two.
Abide in Christ
by Andrew Murray
and
The Gospel Mystery of Sanctification
by Walter Marshall.
Sometime very soon I will be revisiting Biblical Theology by John Owen. Not the whole thing, just Book 6. Which in my humble opinion should be a must read for every believer.

Sounds like the Bible is not opened at all unless you are relying upon the "scriptures" used in the two books that you have opened to justify a particular thrust of understanding.

Well....there is nothing wrong with Andrew Murray.
Maybe you should read some of his writings and about what he put in practice.

I don't think it was Murray he took exception to. But rather, made the presumption that because I am an avid reader of books other than the bible, that somehow the Bible was neglected. It wasn't his only presumption either. I doubt he has ever read Murray or Marshall for that matter.Well....there is nothing wrong with Andrew Murray.

As for John Owen, he wrote quite extensively about just this sort of individual in the work I referenced above.
I guess the Monty Python reference went over his head, I was laughing as I typed it out. But upon further review, there is absolutely nothing amusing about his behavior, it's disturbing.

I own two books by Andrew Murray.
"Humility" and "With Christ in the school of Prayer"
Both published by Bridge Logos Publishers.
"The Classic Collection" (different Christian writers) has many books, I own 13 of them.
The works of Andrew Murray have been a great blessing to me through the years. I recently decided to revisit his 7 volume collection on prayer after listening to the audiobook The Ministry of Intercession. And Im so glad I did.
Humility was maybe the first book of his I ever read, given to me by an older brother in Christ many years ago. I have since passed it along to someone else.
There is much to be gleaned from those who walked so closely with Christ long before us. I wish more of our brothers and sisters in Christ treasured their wisdom as much as we do.
Bless you my son, for your concern for my final destiny.
From a prayer perspective, I Pray that "God will include you among those whom He is drawing to Himself such that you may know of His great Love for you, His purposes for your life and His enduring peace."
Shalom
