In the preface to Kierkegaard's For Self-Examination, I read the following lines and present them to you for consideration as I've posted on prayer, reading, and positioning. I'm going to (find the right place and) give it a go!
"My dear readers, read aloud, if possible! If you do so, allow me to thank you for it; if you not only do it yourself, if you also influence others to do it, allow me to thank each one of them, and you again and again! By reading aloud you will gain the strongest impression that you have only yourself to consider, not me, who, after all, am 'without authority', nor others, which would be a distraction."
Søren Kierkegaard, August 1851
