“Conclusion: better to be a thinking monk than a postmodern
thinker.”
Muriel Barbery

Anna Quindlen
“It was a kind of circular thing: to be the kind of person who would have taken Faith in, he had to be the kind of person who would take her back.”
Anna Quindlen, Blessings

Leslie Leyland Fields
“Ironically, pretending that parenting is easy diminishes the value of family. As truth seekers and truth speakers, we need to be honest about the cost of parenting.”
Leslie Leyland Fields, Parenting Is Your Highest Calling: And Eight Other Myths That Trap Us in Worry and Guilt

Leslie Leyland Fields
“God has already shown us the way [to parent]. He parents, not according to an external list of rules, but according to his nature. Because he is a God of abounding love, he showers love and tenderness upon his children. Because he is a God of clarity and fairness, he provides definitive expectations for his children. Because he is a God of justice, he punishes his children's sin. Because he is a God of truth, who always fulfills his word, he disciplines their violations just as he promised. Because he is a God of mercy, he makes a way for their sins to be covered. Because he is a God of hope, he offers restoration even in the midst of judgement.”
Leslie Leyland Fields, Parenting Is Your Highest Calling: And Eight Other Myths That Trap Us in Worry and Guilt

Leslie Leyland Fields
“In emphasizing God's love over his holiness--his set-apartness as a sovereign, omniscient authority--we end up believing that his central concern is our individual happiness.”
Leslie Leyland Fields, Parenting Is Your Highest Calling: And Eight Other Myths That Trap Us in Worry and Guilt
