edit data

J. Evan Johnson is a novelist from the Philadelphia area whose writings cover a range of topics including marriage, the consequences of sin, and the reality of our human condition all of which are packaged into an entertaining story. His stories uplift, inspire, and force one to pause in thought, but don’t shy away from the complexities of being a real human being with thoughts, emotions, and habits. When he’s not writing what some call “messy” Christian fiction, he is in the gym throwing around some weights, engrossing himself in another world (of a good book, video game, or show), or building furniture with his son.

Quotes by J. Evan Johnson (?)

“Fear. It is likely to be the most well played card of the enemy. Fear stops you from fully understanding what lies around you. Fear stops you from really getting to know someone. Fear takes joy away. Fear pushes you into a spiral of negativity and hopelessness. But once you overcome fear… On the other side of that fear is freedom.”
― J. Evan Johnson

“It is a shame, the amount of people who are turned off by the name of Jesus simply because of the mouths that say that name...”

“It is your heart behind the action that allows you to prosper, not the action yourself. You can give away all your possessions, time, and energy, but if you do it to look good, to look pious, to look holy, you have already lost.”

J.’s Quotes

“I pray because I can't help myself. I pray because I'm helpless. I pray because the need flows out of me all the time- waking and sleeping. It doesn't change God- it changes me.”

“Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of - throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself.”
― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
