Let me be a man of one book

"To candid,reasonable men I am not afraid to lay open what have been the inmost thoughts of my heart. I have thought: I am a creature of a day, passing through life as an arrow through the air. I am a spirit come from God and returning to God; just hovering over the great gulf, till a few moments hence I am no more seen -- I drop into an unchangeable eternity! "I want to know one thing, the way to heaven -- how to land safe on that happy shore. God himself has condescended to teach the way: for this very reason he came down from heaven. He hath written it down in a book. O give me that book! At any price give me the Book of God! I have it. Here is knowledge enough for me. Let me be a man of one book...." -- John Wesley
