Every boy, in his journey to become a man, takes an arrow in the center of his heart, in the place of his strength. Because the wound is rarely discussed and even more rarely healed, every man carries a wound. And the wound is nearly always given by his father.

A man's calling is written on his true heart, and he discovers it when he enters the frontier of his deep desires.

In the end, it doesn’t matter how well we have performed or what we have accomplished—a life without heart is not worth living.

Most Christians are still living with an Old Testament view of their heart. Jeremiah 17:9 says, 'My heart is deceitfully wicked.' No, it's not. Not after the work of Christ, because the promise of the new covenant is a new heart.

A man does not go to a woman to get his strength; he goes to her to offer it.

God endowed you with a glory when he created you, a glory so deep and mythic that all creation pales in comparison.

The meaning of our lives is revealed through experiences that at first seem at odds with each other--moments we wish would never end and moments we wish had never begun.
