Glenna Marshall
“Faithfulness isn’t found in living perfectly but in killing sin regularly.”
Glenna Marshall, Everyday Faithfulness: The Beauty of Ordinary Perseverance in a Demanding World

James K.A. Smith
“The question isn't whether you're going to believe, but who; it's not merely about what to believe, but who to entrust yourself to. Do we really think humanity is our best bet? Do we really think we are the the answer to our problems, we who've generated all of them? The problem with everything from Enlightenment scientism to mushy Eat-Pray-Love-ism is us. If anything looks irrational, it's the notion that we are our own best hope.”
James K.A. Smith, On the Road with Saint Augustine: A Real-World Spirituality for Restless Hearts

“Consider what Jesus is saying. A yoke is the heavy crossbar laid on oxen to force them to drag farming equipment through the field. Jesus is using a kind of irony, saying that the yoke laid on his disciples is a nonyoke. For it is a yoke of kindness. Who could resist this? It’s like telling a drowning man that he must put on the burden of a life preserver only to hear him shout back, sputtering, “No way! Not me! This is hard enough, drowning here in these stormy waters. The last thing I need is the added burden of a life preserver around my body!”
Dane C. Ortlund, Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers

“The cumulative testimony of the four Gospels is that when Jesus Christ sees the fallenness of the world all about him, his deepest impulse, his most natural instinct, is to move toward that sin and suffering, not away from it.”
Dane C. Ortlund, Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers

Emily St. John Mandel
“It’s possible to both know and not know something.’ ”
Emily St. John Mandel, The Glass Hotel
