Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“We are not to simply bandage the wounds of victims beneath the wheels of injustice, we are to drive a spoke into the wheel itself.”
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“Costly grace is the gospel which must be sought again and again and again, the gift which must be asked for, the door at which a man must knock. Such grace is costly because it calls us to follow, and it is grace because it calls us to follow Jesus Christ. It is costly because it costs a man his life, and it is grace because it gives a man the only true life. It is costly because it condemns sin, and grace because it justifies the sinner. Above all, it is costly because it cost God the life of his Son: 'Ye were bought at a price', and what has cost God much cannot be cheap for us. Above all, it is grace because God did not reckon his Son too dear a price to pay for our life, but delivered him up for us. Costly grace is the Incarnation of God.”
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship

Sarah Holman
“No one understood the value of something that was measured with a different standard than they themselves measured by. Matthew was thought to be worthless because he did not communicate how everyone did. My father thought me worthless because I did not have the same business sense that he and my brother were born with.”
Sarah Holman, A Different Kind of Courage

Sarah Holman
“Tell me how to earn my father’s favor, Joseph. You always know what to do.” I am sure my words came out muffled through my hands.

“Perhaps you seek the wrong objective.”

I did not understand. I met Joseph’s calm gaze. “What do you mean, seeking the wrong objective? Isn’t every son supposed to honor their father?”

“Yes, but honor is not the same as earning his favor. You are trying to earn something you cannot obtain.”
Sarah Holman, A Different Kind of Courage

Mary Connealy
“We're married. I will protect you. I will die for you. Better than that. I will live for you.”
Mary Connealy, Sharpshooter in Petticoats
