If God does not have our highest allegiance, we will use prayer to try to get things that have that designation.

One of the most frequent responses I get from non-Christian readers is: 'I'm not sure I agree with all this, but I must say this is the first book I've read by a Christian that didn't treat me like I was an idiot.'

The peace of God is not the absence of fear. It, in fact, is His presence.

To love our success more than God and our neighbor hardens the heart, making us less able to feel and to sense.

God's grace and forgiveness, while free to the recipient, are always costly for the giver. From the earliest parts of the Bible, it was understood that God could not forgive without sacrifice. No one who is seriously wronged can “just forgive” the perpetrator.

The goal of prayer is not just the sharing of our ideas, but also of ourselves.

Legalistic remorse says, "I broke God's rules," while real repentance says, "I broke God's heart."
