of
To Live Well: Practical Wisdom for Moving Through Chaotic Times:
""Virtues are cultivated habits that align us with who God created us to be." Right from the introduction, Noble's purpose for this book was clear. The virtues give us a clear vision for how to order our lives as believers, and Noble unpacks each virt"

of
To Live Well: Practical Wisdom for Moving Through Chaotic Times:
"Loved it, though I appreciate that this isn't one for everyone.
For Australians who are familiar with Philip Jensen and Tony Payne's book, 'Guidance and the Voice of God', I would go as far as saying - 'Read Jensen & Payne if you're an Engineer-brain" Read more of this review » |

“Don’t do the next thing just so that you can keep doing the next thing. Do the next thing because it honors God and testifies of His goodness and the goodness of your life to your neighbor.”
― On Getting Out of Bed: The Burden and Gift of Living
― On Getting Out of Bed: The Burden and Gift of Living
“This is precisely why we must see that each choice to do the next thing is an act of worship, and therefore fundamentally good. Feeding your pets is an act of worship. Brushing your teeth is. Doing the dishes. Getting dressed. Going to work. Insofar as each of these actions assumes that this life in this fallen world is good and worth living despite suffering, they are acts of faith in God. Choose to do the next thing before and unto God, take a step toward the block. That is all you must ever do and all you can do. It is your spiritual act of worship.”
― On Getting Out of Bed: The Burden and Gift of Living
― On Getting Out of Bed: The Burden and Gift of Living
“If you take away one truth, the one thing in this book I know with certainty, let it be this: your life is a good gift from a loving God, even when subjectively it doesn’t feel good or like a gift, and even when you doubt that God is loving. Please get out of bed anyway.”
― On Getting Out of Bed: The Burden and Gift of Living

“Grand. There's a word I really hate. It's a phony. I could puke every time I hear it.”
― The Catcher in the Rye
― The Catcher in the Rye
“Droll thing life is -- that mysterious arrangement of merciless logic for a futile purpose. The most you can hope from it is some knowledge of yourself -- that comes too late -- a crop of inextinguishable regrets.”
― Heart of Darkness
― Heart of Darkness
“No, it is impossible; it is impossible to convey the life-sensation of any given epoch of one’s existence--that which makes its truth, its meaning--its subtle and penetrating essence. It is impossible. We live, as we dream--alone.”
― Heart of Darkness
― Heart of Darkness
“What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though.”
