Excerpt from The Wisdom of James the Just

Wise men have often told us of the snares of desultory reading. The mental discipline which accompanies continuous study is missed by those who wander from book to book. There may be, and there doubtless is, profit in wide and diversified reading, but it is seldom a profit, except to those who have trained the mind by systematic study. The Bible, like every other book, is only read with fullest advantage when it is studied systematically, i.e., book by book. I fear that Bible reading is too often the reading of detached texts, or of favourite and perhaps isolated passages.
