"The war to preserve the privilege of mythmaking"
— Marvin Bell (Mars Being Red)

"Ironically, it was the father's blessing that actually "financed" the prodigal son's trip away from the Father's face! and it was the son's new revelation of his poverty of heart that propelled him back into his Father's arms. Sometimes we use the very blessings that God gives us to finance our journey away from the centrality of Christ. It's very important that we return back to ground zero, to the ultimate eternal goal of abiding with the Father's in intimate communion. (pg. 243)"
— Tommy Tenney (The God Chasers: My Soul Follows Hard after Thee)
