“There is, however, a danger in the use of illustrations, and that is allowing them to become an end unto themselves. Illustrations are designed to illustrate, not simply to entertain. Thus, they need to be tethered to some point or truth and not be allowed to dangle alone, disconnected, from anything meaningful and informative.” (Page 10)

“Could it be that the Life Maker knows more about life living than you do?” (Page 18)

“We operate in lanes of life that were never designed for us. We operate in purposes that were never designed for us. All exits are good exits, but not all exits are your exits.
