Gregg L. Frazer, God against the Revolution: The Loyalist Clergy's Case against the American Revolution

Rachel Held Evans
“But sometimes I think what the church needs most is to recover some of its weird.”
Rachel Held Evans, Searching for Sunday: Loving, Leaving, and Finding the Church

Julian of Norwich
“God, of thy goodness, give me Thyself;
for Thou art enough for me,
and I can ask for nothing less

Julian of Norwich

Stephen Colbert
