Philip Yancey
“the issue is not whether I agree with someone but rather how I treat someone with whom I profoundly disagree. We Christians are called to use the “weapons of grace,” which means treating even our opponents with love and respect.”
Philip Yancey, Vanishing Grace: What Ever Happened to the Good News?

Philip Yancey
“Faith is not simply a private matter, or something we practice once a week at church. Rather, it should have a contagious effect on the broader world. Jesus used these images to illustrate his kingdom: a sprinkle of yeast causing the whole loaf to rise, a pinch of salt preserving a slab of meat, the smallest seed in the garden growing into a great tree in which birds of the air come to nest.”
Philip Yancey, Vanishing Grace: What Ever Happened to the Good News?

Sarah Bessey
“Nothing changes in a true, God-lasting way when we use people or push agendas or make finger-pointing arguments or accusations of heresy.”
Sarah Bessey, Jesus Feminist: An Invitation to Revisit the Bible's View of Women

Philip Yancey
“I do not know if that theory is correct, but I do know that singling out one behavior as “sin” and emphasizing it over others provides a convenient way of dodging our own need for grace. High-minded moralism and shrill pronouncements of judgment may help fundraising, but they undermine a gospel of grace.”
Philip Yancey, Vanishing Grace: What Ever Happened to the Good News?

Philip Yancey
“The Quakers have a saying: “An enemy is one whose story we have not heard.” To communicate to post-Christians, I must first listen to their stories for clues to how they view the world and how they view people like me. Those conversations are what led to the title of this book. Although God’s grace is as amazing as ever, in my divided country it seems in vanishing supply.”
Philip Yancey, Vanishing Grace: What Ever Happened to the Good News?
