Book cover for The Auschwitz Escape
“Students came from all over to burn books. They came by the hundreds. And they brought thousands of books. I was just a kid, of course, but I’d never seen so many books, even at the library. And then they built this enormous bonfire. The ...more

“We are not necessarily doubting that God will do the best for us; we are wondering how painful the best will turn out to be. —C. S. Lewis It”
Donna VanLiere, The Christmas Shoes

Nabeel Qureshi
“While I was wallowing in self-pity, focused on myself, there was a whole world with literally billions of people who had no idea who God is, how amazing He is, and the wonders He has done for us. They are the ones who are really suffering. They don’t know His hope, His peace, and His love that transcends all understanding. They don’t know the message of the gospel. After loving us with the most humble life and the most horrific death, Jesus told us, “As I have loved you, go and love one another.” How could I consider myself a follower of Jesus if I was not willing to live as He lived? To die as He died? To love the unloved and give hope to the hopeless?”
Nabeel Qureshi, Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus: A Devout Muslim Encounters Christianity

“Desires for things God has forbidden are a reflection of how sin has distorted me, not how God has made me.”
Sam Allberry

“It is the most counterintuitive aspect of Christianity, that we are declared right with God not once we begin to get our act together but once we collapse into honest acknowledgment that we never will.”
Dane C. Ortlund, Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers

“You don’t need to unburden or collect yourself and then come to Jesus. Your very burden is what qualifies you to come. No payment is required; he says, “I will give you rest.” His rest is gift, not transaction. Whether you are actively working hard to crowbar your life into smoothness (“labor”) or passively finding yourself weighed down by something outside your control (“heavy laden”), Jesus Christ’s desire that you find rest, that you come in out of the storm, outstrips even your own.”
Dane C. Ortlund, Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers
