“While writers and speakers are telling you that you need to search your heart for the root of bitterness, which they call unforgiveness, they allow the real roots of bitterness, the self-exalters in positions of authority, to gain more and more ascendancy. Wolves can come in— not only the ones that wear sheep’s clothing— but even some who wear shepherd’s clothing.”
― Rebecca Davis, Untwisting Scriptures That Were Used to Tie You Up, Gag You, and Tangle Your Mind

“I have come to the conclusion that liturgy, when rightly appropriated, is one of the best ways for us to make disciples in a postmodern context. It is this emphasis—the appropriation of ancient practices for disciple formation today—that is the unifying theme of this book.”

“Today many young people are searching for truth that has been tested and tried, truth that acknowledges the holistic nature of the human person—addressing the heart, soul, mind, and body. Many are searching for this truth by looking not to the future but to the past. Looking beyond the modern age, they are looking to the premodern roots of our history.”

“I’ve found that many young adults are looking for a faith that moves beyond these labels, transcending the “evangelical” or “charismatic,” “liberal” or “conservative” divisions. They are seeking a holistic spirituality that embraces all aspects of their person—mind, body, and soul. Many are tired of the religious culture wars and would prefer to move past them in search of a holistic Christian faith that embraces the best of all sides.”
