Top Highlights

“The trouble with negative thinkers, for ourselves as much as Haggai, is that they are usually correct, in part at least.” (Page 146)

“Despite all criticisms, they are to take courage and get on with the job, for God is with them” (Page 145)

“Faced with the relative absence of progress, human nature reared its ugly head” (Page 145)

“There is a human tendency within us, when faced as was Israel with the catalogue of our shortcomings, to turn to intense forms of religiosity. We should be in church more; we should spend hours in agonizing prayers of repentance; we should give all that we have to God; and so it goes on, until the fanatic is produced within us, but still without the heart of true religion. ‘What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God.’ At first it does not sound like much, but it is more than enough for one lifetime.” (Page 47)

“In Christian theology, the death of Jesus Christ symbolizes human opposition to God, but more importantly also serves as a bridge towards the restoration of relationship between mankind and God.” (Page 214)
