I got a little lost in the middle—too many characters! But I guess that’s her way of throwing off the reader.

Shelly Wildman and 5 other people liked Bronwyn Lea's review of Whistler:
Whistler by Ann Patchett
"This is a profoundly beautiful book, brimming with kindness. There are no gasping surprises, no evil villains, no terrible mysteries to solve… and yet it’s a page turner of gentle compulsion and I loved every minute. "

“Parents, we must teach our children to have self-discipline because this trait will affect their relationships throughout their lives, including, and most importantly, their relationship with God.”
Shelly Wildman, First Ask Why: Raising Kids to Love God Through Intentional Discipleship

“Parents, saying no to your child or asking them about their behavior may be the hardest thing for you to do, but the Bible is clear that we must instill a sense of discipline in our children. Because God loves our children, he has given them parents (you) to teach them self-control.”
Shelly Wildman, First Ask Why: Raising Kids to Love God Through Intentional Discipleship

“A strong sense of discipline will help your children grow in godliness and righteousness, which will be expressed as peace in their lives. And the world will benefit from their strength.”
Shelly Wildman, First Ask Why: Raising Kids to Love God Through Intentional Discipleship

“The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.”
St. Augustine

“O wretched slaves of Mammon, you cannot glory in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ while you trust in treasures laid up on earth: you cannot taste and see how gracious the Lord is, while you are hungering for gold. If you have not rejoiced at the thought of His coming, that day will be indeed a day of wrath to you.”
Bernard of Clairvaux, On Loving God

“There are those who seek knowledge for the sake of knowledge; that is Curiosity.

There are those who seek knowledge to be known by others; that is Vanity.

There are those who seek knowledge in order to serve; that is Love.”
Bernard of Clairvaux

“Neither fear nor self-interest can convert the soul. They may change the appearance, perhaps even the conduct, but never the object of supreme desire... Fear is the motive which constrains the slave; greed binds the selfish man, by which he is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and enticed (James 1:14). But neither fear nor self-interest is undefiled, nor can they convert the soul. Only charity can convert the soul, freeing it from unworthy motives.”
St. Bernard of Clairvaux

“What we love we shall grow to resemble.”
Bernard of Clairvaux
