I have written about this pathological condition before and its problems. This morning, however, I had cause to bless my compulsive hoarding of books. A book I had not opened in over a decade and seemed destined for the charity shop gifted me with an insight which has been invaluable for a sermon which will be delivered tomorrow. I don't know much about Otto Borchert but I am grateful that in 1933 an English translation was made of his work: 'The Original Jesus.' Make every book a prisoner and in time it will disclose its riches.
