Hero of Heroes Quotes

“We are quick to stand up for our own rights and reputation and eager for everyone to think well of us. At the same time, we are slow, very slow, to put ourselves out for the sake of others or for the sake of God’s reputation. We’d much rather hear God’s name taken in vain than our own.”
― Iain M. Duguid, Hero of Heroes: Seeing Christ in the Beatitudes

“Studying the Beatitudes is not, therefore, simply an exercise in self-criticism, in which we mentally beat ourselves up for not being what we ought to be. Studying the attri-butes of the Christian hero will lead us to praise over and over again as we see how these very virtues are on display in the person of Jesus.”
