I love writing books - I really do. If I could just quit everything and work on a book every day, I would love that most.

It confuses me that Christian living is not simpler. The gospel, the very good news, is simple.

The human body essentially recreates itself every six months. Nearly every cell of hair and skin and bone dies and another is directed to its former place. You are not who you were last November.

The truth is, if what we choose to do with our lives won't make a story meaningful, it won't make a life meaningful either.

...if I do not introduce people to Jesus, then I don't believe Jesus is an important person. It doesn't matter what I say.

Great writers know what to cut out. It's the same in life. Clear ambitions. Clear relationships. This is the stuff of good story.

There is something beautiful about a billion stars held steady by a God who knows what He is doing.
