    “The ministry of violence is a spiritual conflict. It’s a ministry that every child of God cannot afford to sweep under the rug. If they do, they will suffer spiritual loss, and will never be more than conquerors in Christ Jesus.”
    John Ramirez, Fire Prayers: Building Arsenals That Destroy Satanic Kingdoms

    Mary K. Savarese
    “When the tornado dwindled, a bolt of lightning streamed from Master Joroku’s sleeve. It wrapped around Patrick as if a noose. A flash and Patrick was yanked from Lyly’s arms. Patrick faded into the darkness then reappeared as a black mist. No wait … a cat! A black cat with glowing copper eyes. Joroku swiped his hand along the floor and Lyly’s feet jerked out from under her. She hovered delicately for only a moment over the paper. As Joroku moved his hands, Lyly spun as freely as a spinning wheel. Several times she twirled. As if with no friction, Lyly spun faster and faster. Joroku pounded his hand into the air and Lyly was sucked into the cloth paper. Lyly was gone.”
    Mary K. Savarese, The Girl In The Toile Wallpaper

    “God had been orchestrating the events of my life behind the scenes for years, and I had no clue.”
    Gregory S. Works, Triumph: Life on the Other Side of Trials, Transplants, Transition and Transformation

  • #4
    “It took him about 20 minutes under the shower to start getting some self-respect back. It would have taken a bit less if he had a decent showerhead and decent water pressure.”
    Matt Francis, Murder in the Pacific: Ifira Point

  • #5
    Yvonne Korshak
    “Part of the hem floated loose. She spun around again—the fabric tightened like wool on a spindle. She breathed in fear. The boat was farther away. She swung her head around—so was the shore.”
    Yvonne Korshak, Pericles and Aspasia: A Story of Ancient Greece

  • #6
    James Allen Moseley
    “I am an ambassador in chains,” wrote Paul in Ephesians 6:20.”
    James Allen Moseley, Biographies of Jesus' Apostles: Ambassadors in Chains

  • #7
    Barry Kirwan
    “She stared at her console, wanting to punch it. Her dream, running to save her life, to save everything, was all going to come true down on the planet’s surface. And when it did, she knew this time she wasn’t going to wake up.”
    Barry Kirwan, The Eden Paradox

  • #8
    Brian Van Norman
    “You realize, of course, the Omegans nearly lost this Earth. They
    had everything yet let it disintegrate through their rampant carelessness.
    Two hundred years past they possessed the rudimentary beginnings
    of the NET to bring them together. They called it the Internet.
    Yet they treated it like a toy, tribalized themselves, and thus nearly lost
    the planet.
    “Nationalist wars, self serving ideologies, competing religions . . .
    more significant, though not to the Omegans, was climate change
    itself, which mattered more than any petty dogma, but they ignored
    it until too late. It has ultimately determined our lives, managed now
    by the CORPORATE, using the only possible tools to survive. There
    were billions of Humans then. There is now but a fraction of that:
    some 300 million we know in the MEGS and, of course, the uncounted
    MASSes.”
    Brian Van Norman, Against the Machine: Evolution

  • #9
    Steven Decker
    “Emily kept telling herself this was inevitable, that it was why she’d come to Ireland: to see what her dreams led to. But seeing the man caused goosebumps to rise up on her skin, as if she were seeing a ghost. Her extremities began to tingle, and she felt the blood draining from her face.”
    Steven Decker, Projector for Sale

  • #10
    Michael G. Kramer
    “Colonel Nguyen Van Tan said, “Sauget et Sang, you shall start making amends by confessing your crimes in public here, in this courtroom when the reporters from news services around the world arrive!”

    (A Gracious Enemy & After the War Volume Two)”
    Michael G. Kramer

  • #11
    Max Nowaz
    “You can’t escape me, I’m coming for you soon,” shrieked his hellish voice. Whether the beast was a man in a mask or a demon of his imagination, made little difference to Adam, He was petrified.”
    Max Nowaz, The Three Witches and the Master

  • #12
    J.K. Franko
    “Our world is not safe. It is a toxic swamp populated by predators and parasites. The odds are stacked against us from the moment of conception. We survive only because we fight the elements, hunger, disease, each other. And, although civilization promises us safe harbor, that promise is a fairy tale. Only the storm is real. It comes for each of us. And we cannot win. We can only choose how we will suffer our defeat.

    We can meekly take our beatings, and die like lemmings, finding solace in the belief that we shall one day inherit the earth.

    Or, we can plunge into the chaos with eyes wide open, taking comfort instead from the bruises, scars, and broken bones which prove that we fought to live and die as gods.”
    J.K. Franko, Life for Life

  • #13
    Tamora Pierce
    “Alanna didn't approve of lying, but in a pinch a lie was sometimes better than the truth.”
    Tamora Pierce, Alanna: The First Adventure

  • #14
    Emem Uko
    “When you had the dream, it looked big. So why quit when it's still small?”
    Emem Uko

  • #15
    Shirley Jackson
    “Nothing is ever really wasted, she believed sensibly, even one's childhood, and then each year, one summer morning, the warm wind would come down the city street where she walked and she would be touched with the little cold thought: I have let more time go by.”
    Shirley Jackson, The Haunting of Hill House

  • #16
    Hunter S. Thompson
    “I felt a little guilty about jangling the poor bugger's brains with that evil fantasy. But what the hell? Anybody who wanders around the world saying, "Hell yes, I'm from Texas," deserves whatever happens to him.”
    Hunter S. Thompson, The Great Shark Hunt: Strange Tales from a Strange Time

  • #17
    Elizabeth Gilbert
    “There is a reason they call God a presence - because God is right here, right now. In the present is the only place to find Him, and now is the only time.”
    Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

  • #18
    Hubert Selby Jr.
    “Tony sat in the only chair, a large, overstuffed, ripped and torn chair that had huge wings that made it look as if it was going to close itself around Tony and somehow swallow and digest him and he would end up on a shelf somewhere in the dark and dusty corner of a secondhand furniture store staring back at the cat sitting on the floor staring up at him, a not-for-sale sign hanging from his chest.”
    Hubert Selby Jr., Requiem for a Dream

  • #19
    Barbara Sontheimer
    “Then wake up my sweet,  wake up knowing that your future is to be happy, and that your heart will heal.”
    Barbara Sontheimer, Victor's Blessing

  • #20
    Max Nowaz
    “One thing I have learnt is that you may do a lot of evil things, but if you are ever afforded a chance to be good, then you should take it. You will feel better about yourself.”
    Max Nowaz, The Polymorph

  • #21
    K.  Ritz
    “It does little good to regret a choice. So often people say, “If only I had known,” implying they would’ve acted differently in a given situation. It is true that desires of the moment can blind one’s sight of the future. Revenge is not as sweet as the adage claims. Yet who could pass a chance to taste it? And if the chance were allowed to slip by, would the fool regret his lack of action? ”
    K. Ritz, Sheever's Journal, Diary of a Poison Master

  • #22
    Yvonne Korshak
    “My Aspasia. With her, he’d discovered the sweetness in life . . . and she might like to know that. He’d tell her sometime. But he knew he’d given this lovely woman what she’d wanted most, their son’s name. He leaned over to the child. “So, you’re Little Pericles.”
    Yvonne Korshak, Pericles and Aspasia: A Story of Ancient Greece

  • #23
    Sara Pascoe
    “What’s “ague?”‘ Raya asked.
    ‘Malaria.’ Oscar said.
    ‘Oh, great.’
    ‘Hey, you want plague? They got that too.’ Raya ignored
    the cat.”
    Sara Pascoe, Being a Witch, and Other Things I Didn't Ask For

  • #24
    Nancy Omeara
    “Written twenty years after she held office, this abridged biography is being released now, prior to taking place.

    Maybe we can learn from history before it happens.”
    Nancy Omeara, The Most Popular President Who Ever Lived [So Far]

  • #25
    Frederick Forsyth
    “As he went down the steps to the street, something was troubling him. Something about the Vietcong officer, his face, the expression of frozen astonishment.
    At the end of the street passers-by turned to look at the young lawyer who threw back his head and laughed at the madness of Fate. Absently he rubbed his left hand where the one-time enemy's hot nut oil in the tunnel had scalded him.”
    Frederick Forsyth, Avenger

    John Boyne
    “I’ve spent so much time pushing the boat out that I forgot to jump on and now it’s out beyond the harbour on the high seas, but it’s very nice to look at.”
    John Boyne, The Heart's Invisible Furies

  • #27
    Mary Norton
    “Mrs. May looked back at her. "Kate," she said after a moment, "stories never really end. They can go on and on and on. It's just that sometimes, at a certain point, one stops telling them.”
    Mary Norton

  • #28
    Robyn Arianrhod
    “I understand my parents quite well. They think of a wife as a man’s luxury, which he can afford only when he is making a comfortable living. I have a low opinion of this view of the relationship between man and wife, because it makes the wife and the prostitute distinguishable only insofar as the former is able to secure a lifelong contract from the man because of her more favourable social rank . . . Which”
    Robyn Arianrhod, Young Einstein: And the story of E=mc²

  • #29
    Gillian Flynn
    “I didn't think past the first step of anything, that was the key. I drank a Coke and didn't worry about how to recycle the can or about the acid puddling in my belly, acid so powerful it could strip clean a penny. We went to a dumb movie and I didn't worry about the offensive sexism or the lack of minorities in meaningful roles. I didn't even worry about anything that came next. Nothing had consequence, I was living in the moment, and I could feel myself getting shallower and dumber. But also happy.”
    Gillian Flynn, Gone Girl

  • #30
    “When oppressed and lost people see your supernatural life shining so bright, they are attracted! They are attracted to the Jesus in you.”
    Kathryn Krick, Unlock Your Deliverance: Keys to Freedom From Demonic Oppression
