I am disappointed by this controversy surrounding A Million Little Pieces because I rely on the publishers to define the category that a book falls within and also the authenticity of the work.

God can dream a bigger dream for you than you can dream for yourself, and your role on Earth is to attach yourself to that divine force and let yourself be released to it.

What other people label or might try to call failure, I have learned is just God's way of pointing you in a new direction

The divine is in all things.

I still love church. My favorite church service is T.D. Jakes at the Potter's House. I don't think there is a better preacher in the country. His ability to interpret scripture is like no other.

To be fully human is...to know that it's possible to face the unimaginable and somehow put one foot in front of the other.

Don't complain about what you don't have. Use what you've got. To be less than your best is a sin.
