We don’t have to learn to live with anger, fear, dread, and self-concepts that drag the ground.

With God’s help, we can replace the old and painful with the joyfully new.

Suffering’s downward force is met and more than matched by God. The more we learn to see this and participate with it, with God, the more we can transform ourselves and the world around us.

The real God isn’t going to step in front of us and keep our sins from hurting us. No, this God is going to invite us to step in front with Him and join Him in this great war between good and evil.
