QUOTES FOR THIS BOOK O ver the years I have collected many quotes from many different sources. Unfortunately I didn’t always write down those sources. My apologies! I can tell you that the majority of quotes come from the following books and authors. Their writings speak to both the heart and the mind. They are some of my all-time favorites. Of all the books I’ve ever read, short of scripture, I must say that The Weight Of Glory by C.S. Lewis has probably had the most profound impact on my thinking. It radically changed how I view people, as well as showing me that the deepest longings of my heart were for God and heaven. Lord willing, as Lewis says, “Some day... we shall get in.” C.S. Lewis The Weight Of Glory Mere Christianity The Problem Of Pain The Chronicles Of Narnia
The Grand Miracle The Quotable Lewis A Grief Observed The Sacred Romance The Journey Of Desire Waking The Dead
