“Our idea of God tells us more about ourselves than about Him.”
Sean Leary, The Words and Wisdom of Thomas Merton.

J.R.R. Tolkien
“I wish it need not have happened in my time,’ said Frodo. ‘So do I,’ said Gandalf, ‘and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

Brian Zahnd
“If Christianity is not seen as countercultural and even subversive within a military-economic superpower, you can be sure it is a deeply compromised Christianity. A Christianity at home in an empire is the kind of compromised Christianity that the book of Revelation so passionately and creatively warns us against.”
Brian Zahnd, Postcards from Babylon: The Church In American Exile

Brennan Manning
“It takes a profound conversion to accept the belief that God is tender and loves us just as we are, not in spite of our sins and faults, but with them. God does not condone or sanction evil, but he does not withhold his love because there is evil in us. The key to this understanding is the way we feel about ourselves. We cannot even stand or accept love from another human being when we do not love ourselves, much less believe or accept that God could possibly love us.6”
Brennan Manning, A Glimpse of Jesus: The Stranger to Self-Hatred

C.S. Lewis
“There have been men before now who got so interested in proving the existence of God that they came to care nothing for God Himself…as if the good Lord had nothing to do but exist! There have been some who were so occupied in spreading Christianity that they never gave a thought to Christ.”
C.S. Lewis, The Great Divorce
