Morgan Nikola-Wren
“Even now, she cannot stop searching for a way out of her skin and into a life that fits all her fire.”
― Morgan Nikola-Wren, Magic with Skin On

Viet Thanh Nguyen
“More than all those people who starved by famine, it was the thought of my mother not remembering what she looked like as a little girl that saddened me.”
― Viet Thanh Nguyen, The Refugees

“It happens to all of us," I concluded that Easter Sunday morning. "God simply keeps reaching down into the dirt of humanity and resurrecting us from the graves we dig for ourselves through our violence, our lies, our selfishness, our arrogance, and our addictions. And God keeps loving us back to life over and over.”
― Nadia Bolz-Weber, Pastrix: The Cranky, Beautiful Faith of a Sinner & Saint

Joni Eareckson Tada
“By the time our conversation ended last night, Hannah had taken a huge turn. She learned that the doubts, fears, and self-centeredness were really the opposite of the faith, hope, and love described in 1 Corinthians 13. She knew that she still lacked faith and hope, and still wrestled with doubts and fears.

― Joni Eareckson Tada, A Place of Healing: Wrestling with the Mysteries of Suffering, Pain, and God's Sovereignty

Viet Thanh Nguyen
“lmost everything looked more beautiful from a distance, the earth becoming more perfect as one ascended and came closer to seeing the world from God's eyes, man's hovels and palaces disappearing, the peaks and valleys of geography fading to become strokes of a paintbrush on a divine sphere.”
― Viet Thanh Nguyen, The Refugees
