“In reality, we were not called to make good decisions. We are not called to make decisions at all. We were called to follow.” (Page 13)

“Mary searched for Jesus. He was with her all along, but not in the place where she was looking, not in the form that she was seeking, and not for the reason that she had come. She was so intent on finding Him that she missed Him! She was so determined to find Him according to her own understanding that she ultimately mistook Him for somebody else!” (Page 8)

“Like the disciples, if you have gone back to your previous ways, Jesus inquires, ‘How’s it going? How are you doing now that you are in control again? Are you making any headway? Are you advancing? Now that you are in control of your life, are you answering all of your prayers for yourself?’” (Page 10)

“What happened to me? It became obvious to me that I had learned the words and missed the message. Although I knew all about the Bible, I did not know its Author. I had answers, but what was the question again?” (Page xii)

“I had fallen prey to a twisted kind of biblical Gnosticism.³ I had been convinced that the more I knew, the closer to God I would become. Somehow, I had it in my mind to get the answers I needed from the Bible. I was told that prayer should fill the disparity in my spiritual communications, but it was not a desire to speak to Him that made me feel so helpless—what I needed was to have Him speak to me.” (Page x)
