Book cover for The Dearly Beloved: A Read with Jenna Pick
“I expect that what you want to ask me is, have I lost my faith in God? Despite this evidence to the contrary, do I still believe God is with me?” The congregation rustled, sat forward, looked at him with apologetic fervor in their eyes. ...more

“Dr. Simms wanted us to be emotionally connected to our learning, to sit in the pain, the horror, the absurdity of America’s racist history, and to humanize those who dared stand against the system. Dr. Simms made us believe that we could follow that legacy of resistance, but one piece of his advice stood out to me more than all the others. “Ain’t no friends here.”
Austin Channing Brown, I'm Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness

“So long as we imagine it is we who have to look for God, we must often lose heart. But it is the other way about – He is looking for us.”
Simon Tugwell

Donald Miller
“ I will give you this, my love, and I will not bargain or barter any longer. I will love you, as sure as He has loved me. I will discover what I can discover and though you remain a mystery, save God's own knowledge, what I disclose of you I will keep in the warmest chamber of my heart, the very chamber where God has stowed Himself in me. And I will do this to my death, and to death it may bring me.
I will love you like God, because of God, mighted by the power of God. I will stop expecting your love, demanding you love, trading for your love, gaming for your love. I will simply love. I am giving myself to you, and tomorrow I will do it again. I suppose the clock itself will wear thin its time before I am ended at this altar of dying and dying again.
God risked Himself on me. I will risk myself on you. And together, we will learn to love, and perhaps then, and only then, understand this gravity that drew Him, unto us.”
Donald Miller, Blue Like Jazz: Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality

“Matthew once said to me, after one of my more finely worded rants about stupid people who have the wrong opinions, "Nadia, the thing that sucks is that every time we draw a line between us and others, Jesus is always on the other side of it." Damn.”
Nadia Bolz-Weber, Pastrix: The Cranky, Beautiful Faith of a Sinner & Saint

Randy Pausch
“When we're connected to others, we become better people.”
Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture
