Good stories must travel through conflict. And in epic stories, the conflict must become unbearable.

People are lonely. They want company and your book can provide them company and a little bit of hope. And there's nothing wrong with that.

The reason I like writing a memoir is because it isn't preachy.

I believe the greatest trick of the devil is not to get us into some sort of evil but rather have us wasting time. This is why the devil tries so hard to get Christians to be religious. If he can sink a man's mind into habit, he will prevent his heart from engaging God. I was into habit.

Today I wonder why it is God refers to Himself as 'Father' at all. This, to me, in light of the earthly representation of the role, seems a marketing mistake.

How disappointing would it be get to heaven and find out God created life to be enjoyed while all we did was worry?

I think the things we want most in life, the things we think will set us free, are not the thing we need.
