Live Life to Its Fullest-God’s Secretaries Chapter 11

John Bois was a man who did not try or want to interact with society. He went his early life with his father learning Greek or Hebrew and in school where he continued his lessons. In his free time he wrote in Greek. Bois was so caught up in writings, in literature, and studies that he became a man that was unknown by most and alone. In his later years he eventually, had children two of which lived. “This perhaps someone you might admire; it is not a man you would love.” (p. 207 God’s Secretaries) Bois loved his work and enjoyed boasting about his collection of books. He worked to help translators who took all the credit for the work he had done for them. He was a strange man and on his death bed cried out “Oh my torment! my torment! my torment!”(p. 215 God’s Secretaries) He held these words inside for so long and they eventually burst from inside him. Sometimes we get caught up in work and things that we loose sight of the important things. We forget about life. We forget about family, about love, about happiness. Bois was a good man and his children loved him but he never really understood how to live. He spent all his life in an office looking at literature, writings, and scripture. He obviously lived in the literal sense but could he say he lived life to its fullest?
