Quotes by Sheila Hollinghead (?)

“We are to tell others of Christ. We are commanded to do so, albeit, with an attitude of love. We do not have to see eye to eye as Christians, but we do have to see heart to heart.”
― Sheila Hollinghead, Rise, Write, Shine, A 100-Day Devotional: Reflections on Christian Writing
