Book cover for Reclaiming Conversation: The Power of Talk in a Digital Age
These kids aren’t cruel. But they are not emotionally developed. Twelve-year-olds play on the playground like eight-year-olds. The way they exclude one another is the way eight-year-olds would play. They don’t seem able to put themselves in ...more

“we are nowhere near the heart of prayer until we understand ourselves as wretches—and wretched at that—those beings so lost that nothing short of the death of God could save us. If we are “not so bad really,” then grace is not amazing.”
Linda McCullough Moore, The Book of Not So Common Prayer: A New Way to Pray, A New Way to Live

“I think the devil must dearly love short prayers, the quick and easy kind where we can dip one toe in, tell ourselves we did it, and console each other: “Prayer is hard.” We shake our heads and say, “It’s not easy,” as if to say God isn’t always there, when truth be told, we haven’t stuck around long enough to find out whether he is or not.”
Linda McCullough Moore, The Book of Not So Common Prayer: A New Way to Pray, A New Way to Live

“Be Thou my battle shield, sword for the fight; Be Thou my dignity, Thou my delight; Thou my soul’s shelter, Thou my high tower: Raise Thou me heavenward, O power of my power…. Thou and Thou only, first in my heart; High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art. “BE THOU MY VISION,” Traditional Irish hymn [PD]”
Kurt Bjorklund, Prayers for Today: A Yearlong Journey of Contemplative Prayer

“no matter how much time we pray, there are hours in the day that we all spend with other people, and I think we could make a pretty strong case that it matters who those people are. I think in every life, one priority is finding one or more seasoned Christians with whom to spend some serious time.”
Linda McCullough Moore, The Book of Not So Common Prayer: A New Way to Pray, A New Way to Live

“God is Lord of all, or he is not Lord at all. Christianity is many things, but one thing it is not is a sideline, a nice hobby, a part-time occupation. We have two choices: in or out; holy or not holy. We must never pretend God sent his Son to die so that we might have life occasionally, so that we might flicker in and out. Abide, he says. In me.”
Linda McCullough Moore, The Book of Not So Common Prayer: A New Way to Pray, A New Way to Live
