Favorite quotes:
"If there was one thing I'd learned growing up in a doctor's office, it was that people's mood was rarely dependent on thier external circumstances. Its origin was almost always internal." p. 29
"You know how in Bible stories whenever an angel shows up, first thing he always says is, 'Fear not!' Well, it took me most of my life, but I finally figured out that he's not trying to comfort us when he says that. He's giving us an order. It's a command given more than 300 times in the Bible. The Lord's telling us not to let ourselves be afraid. We can't affort to be scared. It just gets in the way of us doing whatever it is that we're supposed to be doing." p. 172
