Quotes by Wendy Lawton  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“God weaves families together. ’Tis much like the cloth we weave. When we’ve filled the whole warp, we must remove the cloth from the loom, even though it settled there so tidily. We cut the weaving, and the pieces go for many different things and to many different places. One lot of cloth may go for waistcoats. Even if those waistcoats end up far and wide, you can always tell that they were cut from the same cloth. If the cloth merely stayed on the loom, how would it fulfill its purpose?”
Wendy Lawton, Almost Home: A Story Based on the Life of the Mayflower's Mary Chilton

“Receiving the gospel costs you nothing.
Sharing the gospel costs you something. Following the gospel costs you everything.”
Wendy Lawton, The Hallelujah Lass: A Story Based on the Life of the Young Salvation Army Pioneer Eliza Shirley

“listen hard,”
Wendy Lawton, Daughters of the Faith Complete Collection
