There's a great place for good Christian children's books. After the upcoming projects I'm working on, I'd like to turn my attention back to children's books. Maybe with a granddaughter I'll have more inspiration and new ideas.

I think you could say every pastor is writing this book [ Max on Life]; for many it just never gets published.

Yesterday you can't alter, but your reaction to yesterday you can. The past you cannot change, but your response to your past you can.

You are heaven's Halley's comet; we have one shot at seeing you shine.

Bitterness is the trap that snares the hunter

I think that the Holy Spirit works through the pastors of the church. It helps me avoid the trap of writing to the reading market. It helps me stay a pastor first, because they have no agenda; they are not thinking: "This would this be a good book someday." They're thinking: "How this will help Bob and Suzy who are going through a tough marriage? What series can encourage them?" And so I really bow to their preference.

There's no limit to God's love.
