Book cover for Heart & Habits: How We Change for Good
When I say, “glory of God,” I want you to think of valuing and pleasing God. When we value something, we honor, prize, adore, praise, cherish, and admire that thing. When we value God, we honor him, prize him, adore him, praise him, cherish ...more

Michael Reeves
“In Christ the Word, we exchange darkness for light as we think of God. For he perfectly shows us an unsurpassably desirable God, a kind God who is against all that is wrong, a God who thaws us. And only when we see that will we truly love him.”
Michael Reeves, Rejoicing in Christ

Cormac McCarthy
“He got up and walked out to the road. The black shape of it running from dark to dark. Then the distant low rumble. Not thunder. You could feel it under your feet. A sound without cognate and so without description. Something imponderable shifting out there in the dark. The earth itself contracting with the cold. It did not come again. What time of year? What age the child? He walked out into the road and stood. The silence. The salitter drying from the earth. The mudstained shapes of flooded cities burned to the waterline. At a crossroads a ground set with dolmen stones where the spoken bones of oracles lay moldering. No sound but the wind. What will you say? A living man spoke these lines? He sharpened a quill with his small pen knife to scribe these things in sloe or lampblack? At some reckonable and entabled moment? He is coming to steal my eyes. To seal my mouth with dirt.”
Cormac McCarthy, The Road

“the followers of the easy life will never extend freedom in today's world; they won't even keep it for themselves.”
Thomas Bergler, The Juvenilization of American Christianity

Karen Swallow Prior
“Excellence is an art won by training and habituation: we do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have these because we have acted rightly; “these virtues are formed in man by his doing the actions”; we are what we repeatedly do.”
Karen Swallow Prior, On Reading Well: Finding the Good Life Through Great Books

“Sometimes the road is level and easy, and the birds are singing and the way is wonderful. But sometimes the road is rocky and bumpy, and we hear no music and feel no helping hand. Then what? Complain? Give up? No, that’s the time to remember God’s promise: “For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.” God’s invisible army is at your service, and God can see you through. Charlie”
Warren W. Wiersbe, The Bumps Are What You Climb On: Encouragement for Difficult Days
