Favorite quotes from the book:

"Although power can force obedience, only love can summon a response of love,..."

"Dependence, humility, simplicity, cooperation, and a sense of abandon are qualities greatly prized in the spiritual life, but exremely elusive for people who live in comfort. In the Great Reversal of God's kingdom, prosperous saints are very rare."

"The real goal, King (Martin Luther King Jr.) used to say, was not to defeat the white man, but "to awaken a sense of shame within the oppressor and challenge his false sense of superiority"

Dostoevsky "If anyone proved to me that Christ was outside the truth...then I would prefer to remain with Christ than with the truth."

"Although faith may produce miracles, miracles do not necessarily produce faith."
