Losing Orthodoxy

I never meant to be a heretic. Quite the opposite, in fact. I thought there was plenty of room to be creative and original within the context of broadly accepted Christian doctrine. I knew, of course, when I started writing Love's Anarchy that it would stray from the evangelical party line, but anarchy is not necessarily the same as heresy.

Quotes by Mark Eddy Smith  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The main thing we can learn from The Lord of the Rings is that we who are in a position to save the world (by which I mean all of us) do so primarily to save our friends.”
Mark Eddy Smith, Tolkien's Ordinary Virtues: Exploring the Spiritual Themes of the Lord of the Rings

“Galadriel gives each of the companions a gift before they leave Lothlorien, but it may be that her greatest and most perilous gift was given upon their first meeting. Temptation, succesfully overcome, strengthens the will, but succumbing to temptation, even in thought, leads to evil”
Mark Eddy Smith, Tolkien's Ordinary Virtues: Exploring the Spiritual Themes of the Lord of the Rings

“I know nothing of writing books properly. I write in the same manner I live life: one feeling at a time. If this makes me a bad writer, then I might hope to author several bad books.”
Cara Rosalie Olsen, Awakening Foster Kelly
