Christie’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for Sabbath: The Ancient Practices

Sabbath: The Ancient Practices by Dan B. Allender

1 highlight

To read a book on the Sabbath and not enter the holy day is somewhat like waiting for an exquisite five-star meal and then forgetting to eat when it arrives because you were too busy chatting away on your cell phone.

Christie’s Quotes

“Only as we drink down the kindness of the heart of Christ will we leave in our wake, everywhere we go, the aroma of heaven, and die one day having startled the world with glimpses of a divine kindness too great to be boxed in by what we deserve.”

“Clock time is our bank manager, tax collector, police inspector; this inner time is our wife.”
― Audrey Niffenegger, The Time Traveler's Wife

7 likes

“She is furious with herself for her own stupidity. Opening herself up like this, voluntarily, to a lifetime of worry and anguish. It was madness. Sheer lunacy. A spectacularly foolish and baseless faith, against enormous odds, that a world you do not control will not take from you the one thing you cannot bear to lose. Faith that the world will not destroy you.”
― Khaled Hosseini, And the Mountains Echoed
