Hosted by Danny L Smith · EN
Danny Smith, Hurdie Burk and friends talk about books, life and other things.
“..a user sees reading as a pastime, something to be entertained by, but a recipient rests in the ideas.....to receive a book is to explore what is being said and to let the author take you on a ride.” C.S. Lewis
Danny reminds us - “It’s the sign of an educated mind that can consider another’s ideas without having to own them.”
"You'll be the same 5 yrs from now, as you are now, except for 1. who you associate, 2. what you watch, 3. what you read." Zig Ziglar
