Deanna Fry’s Reviews > God is More Than Enough: Foundations for a Quiet Soul > Status Update

“If you ignore or reject the ‘best end’ of Christlikeness and ignore the context of existence—God Himself—you will adopt the wrong values and choose the wrong means. You will fail, and your soul will be noisy. Christian reader, we must be wise! We must know our God; we must know His ways, then we must choose those ways for ourselves. Only then can we be wise.” -pg 110

“The man who knows that God is powerful but does not yet really know God’s love will still be filled with fears. In fact, having a God Who is supremely powerful is no comfort at all if you don’t think He likes you.” -pg 66

“Since Jesus died for sinners at that cross, it must ever remain a blasphemy to think, ‘God does not love!’” -pg 72

“I wonder how many more unbelievers would come to Christ if the believers around them were content. This is the excellence of contentment. It is a crowning virtue—the aroma—of a mature walk with Christ and draws others to the Savior because it shows God to be more than enough for us.” -pg 58

“We must reject the lies and hold onto what we know to be true about God. Otherwise, the lie of unbelief will take on the form of discontent and will drive the inevitable anxiety, anger, and despair to follow. Look for the roots of unbelief and discontent when the fruits of guilt, anxiety, anger, and despair bud on the branches of your heart.” —pg 39

“We must know and believe what is true about God for God cannot be always good and sometimes not good. God cannot always be in control and sometimes not in control. God cannot be always trustworthy and sometimes not trustworthy. We cannot tolerate unbelief in our souls! Unbelief will rob God of His glory, begin the process of our own disintegration, and generate much noise in our souls.” -pg 19
