Timothy J. Keller
“Contextualization is not — as is often argued — “giving people what they want to hear.”4 Rather, it is giving people the Bible’s answers, which they may not at all want to hear, to questions about life that people in their particular time and place are asking, in language and forms they can comprehend, and through appeals and arguments with force they can feel, even if they reject them.”
Timothy Keller, Center Church: Doing Balanced, Gospel-Centered Ministry in Your City

Leif Enger
“It’s possible to perceive what is coming and still be dumbfounded when it happens.”
Leif Enger, Virgil Wander

Leif Enger
“They came one at a time or in shy small groups. I remember when sea-kindly showed up, a sentimental favorite, followed by desiccated and massive. Brusque appeared all by itself, which seemed apt; merry and boisterous arrived together. This would be a good time to ask for your patience if I use an adjective too many now and again—even now, some years on, they’re still returning. I’m just so glad to see them.”
Leif Enger, Virgil Wander

Leif Enger
“I experienced an unspooling sense of freedom—genuine antagonism is something I’ve rarely encountered, and it felt good to respond with honesty instead of obsequious scraping.”
Leif Enger, Virgil Wander

Leif Enger
“A person never knows what is next—I don’t, anyway. The surface of everything is thinner than we know. A person can fall right through, without any warning at all.”
Leif Enger, Virgil Wander
