Lucado is always good, but I think he treated this topic with a lighter touch than I would have preferred.

Quotes by L. Maristatter (?)

“Don’t you get it? Nobody belongs.” She leaned toward me, her green eyes thoughtful now, her fingers pulling at the hem of her nightshirt. “We like to think we do. We set ourselves up in families and communities and clubs and castes, and we think that’s going to make us feel less lonely. But it doesn’t. Because nobody on this earth is going to truly understand you. You’ll never belong anywhere. The only person you belong to is God. And the only place you will belong is heaven. And until you realize that, Meryn, you won’t be happy anywhere.”
― L. Maristatter, Tiny Tin House

L.’s Quotes

“I expect that someday you’ll have to deal with a little girl just as defiant as you were. But you’ll be glad she defies you, in spite of your frustrations, because you’ll know she has the courage to take on the world if she ever has to.”
― Catherine Jones Payne, Breakwater

“For a community that believed in the existence of sin, conservative evangelicals were curiously nonchalant about the dangers of unchecked power when that power was placed in the hands of a patriarch.”

“In a world that didn’t accept the word of a woman as a valid witness, Jesus chose women as witnesses for his resurrection. In a world that gave husbands power over the very lives of their wives, Paul told husbands to do the opposite—to give up their lives for their wives. In a world that saw women as biologically deformed men, monstrous even, Paul declared that men were just like women in Christ.”

“You have to write the book that wants to be written. And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children.”

“The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing Christians that oppression is godly. Their God ordained some people, simply because of their sex or skin color (or both), as belonging under the power of other people.”
