And in the holy city which are described in this book, he who testifies to these things says, surely I am coming soon. Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen. So if you don't know how to read, I just read the last chapter of the book of revelation to you. And if you're suffering right now, you should know

It. I love reading, too. Right now I'm reading a book called hold on to your kids why parents need to matter more than peers. I have a 15 year old son and I decided to grab this book because I'm heavily, heavily involved in his life. I mean, I get up every morning, I cook him breakfast, I take him to school. Oftentimes I pick him up from school. We spend in our weekends together throughout the week

Thank you for that book recommendation. You are an incredible father. And, yeah, you just keep doing what you're doing. I don't think you need any books

And I'll teach kids to read if they want to make me poor, if they want to send us through a next great depression. Come one, come all. I will teach your kids to read. And all you have to do is share a little bit of your food with my family. I'll take nothing for myself, but I will teach your children how to read. And I'll teach them how to find peace in a time suffering

I knew where every library in town was. And we would do it almost monthly. When the kids were young, some of the libraries had actually active places inside of them to play. And I would also get classic literature on tape and classic poetry on tape. Bugs Bunny exposed all of us to so much culture, we had no idea. So what was it? The ballad of Hiawatha?

Anyway, when that book came out in class and they had to sit down and read it, my oldest son and my other sons loved it, had no problem whatsoever reading any of it. Books are the great equalizer. They are the reason my kids are two of my kids are in college and they are the reason my oldest son still loves to read

If there's anybody that hears this that wants interested in teaching their children how to read, there's a book. And I'll put a screenshot of. I think it's why Johnny can't read. Hold on. Yeah, why Johnny can't read. And I discovered this book because I watched something about Anthony Bourdain and someone said that he stole this book when he was a child and taught himself how to read. So that was a recommendation. I own it

Yes, it was Charles Dickens. Yes. I don't know why I could never remember Charles Dickens and why Johnny. I haven't read that one. But there are actually a bunch of books out there for encouraging kids to read. It is statistically harder generally to get boys to read. And one reason is because boys used to be wired to be active and physical and to stop to read, they got to have something attention grabbing
