Re-read

Very thought-provoking and inspiring book about spiritual growth.

"Joy is, as Karl Barth put it, a 'defiant nevertheless' set at a full stop against bitterness and resentment."

" 'We take every thought captive to obey Christ.' This means, in part, refusing to allow other people's approval or disapproval to dominate our lives."

"...the purpose of knowing Scripture...is for us to become equipped for good works."

"The goal is not for us to get through the Scriptures. The goal is to get the Scriptures through us."

"Jesus' followers are those who intentionally arrange their lives around the goal of spiritual transformation - the development of a well-ordered heart."
