I can only imagine! You’ve birthed a baby and are now presenting it to the world. 🙂

I love that cracker quote too. 🙂 Reminds me of Piper’s analogy:

“When faith has the upper hand in my heart I am satisfied with Christ and his promises. We do not yield to the offer of sandwich meat when we can smell the steak sizzling on the grill.”
– John Piper, Future Grace

That last quote affected me too. It’s such a sign of great love and trust when we run toward instead of away from. I’m still thinking about that one…

(And I’m enjoying your book already. I’m halfway through!)

What a great collection of though provoking quotes too. I think my favorite was the first one you blocked in at the top. A great visual reminder too. Thanks Lisa.

I want to always run toward God, even if I don’t like the storm I’m going through. I can trust in Him even when everything else crumbles.

I marked lots of passages too, Linda, some of them quite long. 😉 It was definitely worth going back to actually read instead of just listen.

And, yes … I want to grab my highlighter every few paragraphs. Good stuff here.

I’m with you both: my to-read list needs to stop growing until I can catch up a little. 🙂

Chandler is very conversational throughout the book, so if you like that, you’ll be happy with his style.
