It can happen to anyone who is prepared to abandon proof-texts and a closed attitude of mind, and allow not merely the stories but the quality of the Figure Who exists behind the stories to meet him afresh. Neat snippets of a few verses are of course useful in their way, but the overall sweep and much of the significance of the Gospel narratives are lost to us unless we are prepared to read the Gospels through, not once but several times.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He had no qualms; "for", said he, "when I fail in my duty, I readily acknowledge it, saying, 'I am ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7657]]></link><description><![CDATA[He had no qualms; "for", said he, "when I fail in my duty, I readily acknowledge it, saying, 'I am used to do so; I shall never do otherwise if I am left to myself'.
