Reflections

Faith isn’t about believing in things you regard as ridiculous, a sacrifice of intellect, it’s a decision; will truth, beauty and love save the world.
~ Jordan Peterson, Psychologist, Author, Speaker

The world does not consist of 100 percent Christians and 100 percent non-Christians. There are people (a great many of them) who are slowly ceasing to be Christians but who still call themselves by that name. (And some of them are clergymen.) There are other people who are slowly becoming Christians though they do not yet call themselves so.
~ C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

Conversion for me was not a Damascus Road experience. I slowly moved into an intellectual acceptance of what my intuition had always known.
~ Madeleine L’Engle, Author, 1918-2007

When one of my friends becomes a Christian, which happens about every 10 years because I am a sheep about sharing my faith, the experience is euphoric. I see in their eyes the trueness of the story.
~ Donald Miller, Author, 1971—

The basic dynamics of conversion are summed up for me in the words LEAVE-ARRIVE, END-BEGIN, SHED-EMERGE. These are the tensions of conversion and spiritual awakening.
~ Sue Monk Kidd, 1948—, God’s Joyful Surprise
