“With what dread and apprehension we entrust important jobs into the hands of others. Imagine the love of a needless God who is willing to want our work.”
Calvin Miller, The Words of Christ : An Everyday Journey With Jesus

“After eating the world's bread, we wake each morning to remember: We are still hungry. Seek a better loaf. Eat, and never die. Taste, savor, and be filled forever.”
Calvin Miller, The Words of Christ : An Everyday Journey With Jesus

G.K. Chesterton
“And the more I considered Christianity, the more I found that while it had established a rule and order, the chief aim of of that order was to give room for good things to run wild.”
G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy

Frederick Buechner
“More than the painting you see or the music you hear, the words you read become in the very act of reading them part of who you are, especially if they are the words of exceptionally promising writers. If there is poison in the words, you are poisoned; if there is nourishment, you are nourished; if there is beauty, you are made a little more beautiful. In Hebrew, the word dabar means both word and also deed. A word doesn’t merely say something, it does something. It brings something into being.”
Frederick Buechner, Wishful Thinking: A Seeker's ABC

G.K. Chesterton
“For our Titanic purposes of faith and revolution, what we need is not the cold acceptance of the world as a compromise, but some way in which we can heartily hate and heartily love it. We do not want joy and anger to neutralise each other and produce a surly contentment; we want a fiercer delight and a fiercer discontent. We have to feel the universe at once as an ogre's castle, to be stormed, and yet as our own cottage, to which we can return at evening.”
G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy
