Dean Simmer Dean said: "Overall I liked the book, especially noting the chapter on the Catechumenate. Chan has a lot to bring to the table and I was able to glean a lot of sectional material.

It's at times a bit wordy, and some of his chapters pertain to readers ...more

C. S.  Lewis
"Redeemed humanity is still young, it has hardly come to its full strength. But already there is joy enough in the little finger of a great saint such as yonder lady to waken all the dead things of the universe into life."
C. S. Lewis


Thomas Merton
"The devil is no fool. He can get people feeling about heaven the way they ought to feel about hell. He can make them fear the means of grace the way they do not fear sin. And he does so, not by light but by obscurity, not by realities but by shadows; not by clarity and substance, but by dreams and the creatures of psychosis. And men are so poor in intellect that a few cold chills down their spine will be enough to keep them from ever finding out the truth about anything."
Thomas Merton (The Seven Storey Mountain)


"Nonviolent action on behalf of justice is no automatic forumla with promise of success: but neither is war. After all, at least half of the people who go to war for some cause deemed worthy of it are defeated."
John Howard Yoder (When War Is Unjust: Being Honest in Just-War Thinking)


"If the tradition which claims that war may be justified does not also admit that it could be unjustified, the affirmation is not morally serious. A Christian who prepares the case for a justified war without being equally prepared for hte negative case has not soberly weighted the prima facie presumption that any violence is wrong until the case for an exception has been made."
John Howard Yoder (When War Is Unjust: Being Honest in Just-War Thinking)
