Quotable Quotes
These are a few of the particularly memorable lines from my books.
"God is love, even to the lost, and to know Him at all is to know this."
- Zach Trewick, in More Golden Than Day
"There are only three questions a man ever needs to ask. What is the nature of God, what things are worth living for, and what things are worth dying for. And the answer to all of them is the same: only love."
- Zach Trewick, in More Golden Than Day
"There's a thing called magnanimity, or greatness of heart, and to me it's the most beautiful thing that ever there was. It means courage, but it's more than that. It means to cast aside all thought of yourself for the sake of another, like Moses in Gilead or the martyrs who died with a smile on their face. In its own small way it's a reflection of the Lord Jesus at Calvary, and therefore of God, the Light so beautiful that no one who sees it can ever turn away."
- Cody McGrath, in Many Waters.
"One way or another the world will die for lack of love, and if there's anything to be saved from the ruins then it'll only be love that saves us,"
- Cameron Parker, in Nightfall
"Love and beauty are linked forever in the heart of man."
- Lisa Stone, in Many Waters
"It's better to go down fighting for what's righteous and true, than to live forever as a hypocrite,"
- Zach Trewick, in Truesilver
"All things have their unexpected beauties."
- Tyke McGrath, in Avenger
"When reality is harsh, one learns very quickly to look beyond it,"
- From Unclouded Day
"Most moral questions are really very simple things. It's usually when we're looking for an excuse to keep from having to do the right thing that we end up making them complicated,"
- Tyke McGrath, in Elysium
"The strong of heart shall drink of Me; the life-giving Life, and the Beauty that makes beautiful,"
- Inscription upon the Fountain of Youth in Unclouded Day
"To God Most High, may this cup that I drink give You glory forever,"
- Brandon Stone, in Bran the Blessed
"It's written that God sometimes uses the weak and foolish things of this world to accomplish His purposes, so as to shame the proud and haughty ones who consider themselves strong. He loves to take people the world counts as worthless and raise them up to be His mightiest champions, so that no one can boast in His presence."
- Brandon Stone, in Lion's Heart
"The world has taught you to think it’s not safe to be too glad, and that tears are more real than laughter. But that’s not so. Joy is what the whole world was made for,"
- Sadie Jones, in Unclouded Day
"God will pick you up out of the mud and wash you clean no matter how many times you fall, as long as the will to walk in white is really there. He'll know if it is, and if it's not then He'll know that too.

"The Law is never to be seen as way of salvation. Instead, it's a pathway to be followed so as to become closer to God, a way of seeing into His heart. It should be viewed and followed with a sense of childlike yearning to be just like our Father, to follow in His footsteps and to imitate Him in every way possible, even if we fail sometimes. We are to strive continually to reach the point at which to say "God wants this" and "I want this" is to say the same thing."
