Book cover for The Hiding Place
“But if God has shown us bad times ahead, it’s enough for me that He knows about them. That’s why He sometimes shows us things, you know—to tell us that this too is in His hands.”

Alex Michaelides
“love that doesn’t include honesty doesn’t deserve to be called love.”
Alex Michaelides, The Silent Patient

Allie Beth Stuckey
“We’ve spent our lives prioritizing ourselves, our wants, and our happiness, and, guess what. We’re still not happy. So how in the world could it be that self-love is the answer to our problems when there’s no evidence whatsoever that we’ve ever stopped loving ourselves?”
Allie Beth Stuckey, You're Not Enough (and That's Ok): Escaping the Toxic Culture of Self-Love

Alex Michaelides
“As Winnicott put it, “A baby cannot hate the mother, without the mother first hating the baby.” As babies, we are innocent sponges, blank slates, with only the most basic needs present: to eat, shit, love, and be loved. But something goes wrong, depending on the circumstances into which we are born, and the house in which we grow up. A tormented, abused child can never take revenge in reality, as she is powerless and defenseless, but she can—and must—harbor vengeful fantasies in her imagination. Rage, like fear, is reactive.”
Alex Michaelides, The Silent Patient

Allie Beth Stuckey
“Most of us have been the centers of our own universe for as long as we can remember. Our most prized possessions all have the letter i in front of their names. We’re the generations of “about me” sections, personal profiles, and selfies. We are well acquainted with instant gratification, and we’ve come to expect the ability to personalize our experiences. We are keenly focused on ourselves and our needs. We spend hours studying our signs and personality types in an effort to gain the self-understanding we hope will bring us guidance and inner peace.”
Allie Beth Stuckey, You're Not Enough (and That's Ok): Escaping the Toxic Culture of Self-Love

Douglas Wilson
“Such laws, such foolish resistance, can cause short-term grief. Think again of Herod and the little boys he slaughtered. But think also about how ineffectual it was. Did he stop the morning star from rising? Did he stop the day from coming? In the same way, we must know that the message of Christmas is not that we have to persuade anybody of anything. The message is far more good news declaration than it is argumentation.”
Douglas Wilson, God Rest Ye Merry: Why Christmas is the Foundation for Everything
