Jeske

“You want to prove that the Bible is right? It is not done by self-fulfilling prophecies or by pointing to world events as prophecy fulfillment. That is not how you prove that the Bible is right. We prove that the Bible is right by radical obedience to the teachings of Jesus and by validating that Jesus' teachings actually do work and can make our world better. Let us love our enemies, forgive those who sin against us, feed the poor, care for the needy and oppressed, walk the extra mile, be inclusive not exclusive, turn the other cheek, and maybe then the world will start taking us seriously and believe our Bible!”
― Munther Isaac, The Other Side of the Wall: A Palestinian Christian Narrative of Lament and Hope

“But a diagnosis is not a cure. I don't know what to do with Eric's voice now, the remembered syllables, the hope.”
― Edith Eva Eger, The Choice: Embrace the Possible

“Er was iets in mij omvergehaald, dat zich niet meer op kon richten.”
― Victor Hugo

“Maybe every childhood is the terrain on which we try to pinpoint how much we matter and how much we don’t, a map where we study the dimensions and the borders of our worth.”
― Edith Eva Eger, The Choice: Embrace the Possible
