""I've lived my life without ever reaching the depths of despair. I'm grateful for my luck. But I have also not felt the God-sized hole in my life that the depths of despair often reveal. This doesn't mean there isn't a hole; just that I've been able to ignore it. And that, I think, explains a lot not only about me but about the unreflective secularism of our age."" — Jan 11, 2026 04:15PM

"So you've felt the warm joy of salvation. Great. Wonderful. Now what?
This book already feels like a warm but direct response to this. Conversion is only the title page of a new book being written. "See that it be written well."" — Dec 17, 2025 04:25PM

“Whether true or false, what is said about men often has as much influence on their lives, and particularly on their destinies, as what they do.”

“The incarnation took all that properly belongs to our humanity and delivered it back to us, redeemed. All of our inclinations and appetites and capacities and yearnings are purified and gathered up and glorified by Christ. He did not come to thin out human life; He came to set it free. All the dancing and feasting and processing and singing and building and sculpting and baking and merrymaking that belong to us, and that were stolen away into the service of false gods, are returned to us in the gospel.”

“Safe?” said Mr. Beaver; “don’t you hear what Mrs. Beaver tells you? Who said anything about safe? ‘Course he isn’t safe. But he’s good. He’s the King, I tell you.”

“Because children have abounding vitality, because they are in spirit fierce and free, therefore they want things repeated and unchanged. They always say, "Do it again"; and the grown-up person does it again until he is nearly dead. For grown-up people are not strong enough to exult in monotony. But perhaps God is strong enough to exult in monotony. It is possible that God says every morning, "Do it again" to the sun; and every evening, "Do it again" to the moon. It may not be automatic necessity that makes all daisies alike; it may be that God makes every daisy separately, but has never got tired of making them. It may be that He has the eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we.”
