I finally finished Darryl Tippen's book "Pilgrim Heart." A good book, but it took me forever to get it done. I don't have much to say right now, but here are a few quotes I liked towards the end:
"I think there is no suffering greater than what is caused by the doubts of those who want to believe. I know what torment this is, but I can only see it, in myself anyway, as the process by which faith is deepened... What people don't realize is how much religion costs. They think faith is a big electric blanket, when of course it is the cross... If you can't believe, you must at least do this: keep an open mind. Keep it open toward faith, keep wanting it, keep asking for it, and leave the rest to God."
- Flannery O'Conner
"Don't expect faith to clear things up for you. It is trust, not certainty..."
- Flannery O'Conner
"The only whole heart is a broken one."
- Kotzke Rebbe
"Tell me the story of Jesus. Write on my heart ev'ry word."
- Fanny Crosby
