There is a story that when Dr. Livingstone began his great missionary work in Africa he was passionate about reading and his studies. Even though he knew the road would be rough and long he still committed to carrying his most prized books with him on his long journey. When Dr. Livingstone began to make his way deep into the heart of Africa he carried with him 73 of his most prized books in 3 packs.
The weight of Dr. Livingstone’s book bags was 180 pounds, but he was determined to keep them all. After his missionary team had gone 300 miles through the jungle Dr. Livingstone knew that he was not going to be able to keep all of his books because of the fatigue they were creating for those who had to carry his baggage. As he continued on his journey his library grew less and less, until he had but one book left…his Bible.
