What fun!

If you have some graduate school trauma to work out, following Alice into Hell just might help. With a surprising affirmation of life and grace.

Quotes by Beth Felker Jones  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The idea that gentleness isn't masculine or the dangerous idea that grown women shouldn't have body fat are sinful distortions of masculinity and femininity. These distorted ideas aren't what our good God intended for us when he gave us sexually differentiated bodies...It can also help us to recognize that growing in holiness as a son or daughter of God sometimes requires defying social rules about men not being gentle or women needing to eat so little that they cannot thrive.”
Beth Felker Jones, Faithful: A Theology of Sex

“The discipline of theology is about learning to read Scripture more faithfully. It is also about speaking the truth of Scripture in ways that fit new contexts, new times, and new places. It is true that human beings are very talented at using reason, tradition, and experience to support our own sins. It is also true that reading Scripture well is very hard work.”
Beth Felker Jones, Practicing Christian Doctrine: An Introduction to Thinking and Living Theologically

“Divine revelation is altogether more powerful. When God reveals divine reality to us, real transformation takes place. When we truly know the things of God, we will be changed—body, soul, and spirit.”
Beth Felker Jones, Practicing Christian Doctrine: An Introduction to Thinking and Living Theologically

“Redemption, transformation--God how she wanted these things. Every day, every minute. Didn't everyone?”
Jennifer Egan, A Visit from the Goon Squad

“If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.”
J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

“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.”
Madeleine L'Engle

“The Christian does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us.”
C.S. Lewis

“Destroying things is much easier than making them.”
Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games
