“saying, ‘There are no facts, only interpretations.” (Page 1)
“I’m not talking about poverty, but the decision to live simply so that time, energy, and resources can be spent on things that matter. I have a son who refuses to be caught up in the gotta-have-it mentality. He holds that ‘whatever you own, owns you,’ and the more I think about it, the more I think he’s absolutely correct.” (Page 2)
“there lives more faith in honest doubt, believe me, than in half the creeds.’” (Page 6)
“He is asking us to accept as a ‘fact’ that there are no facts.” (Page 1)
I've not only appreciated Bob Mounce's profound knowlkedge of the Scriptures, but also his practical ways of communicating God's truth. His latest, So They Say, is a unique means of providing incredible background and applicable illustrations, defining seventy familiar and timeless quotes, with real-world understanding. This volume promises to be an insightful resource and reference for all readers—laymen and preachers alike!

'Those who walk with the wise become wise.' Mounce believes in that gem of wisdom so much that he has collected hundreds of quotes over the years to learn from the wise. He includes those quotes in this clear, clever, insightful little book. But he does more... He actually raises questions along the way, even of the wise, which turns him into a sage himself. I suspect he smiled as he wrote this book, smiled because he loved the quotes he has included in the book but smiled also because he believes that the accumulation of wisdom requires deep reflection and careful examination.

Thank you, Bob, for bringing common sense and biblical clarity to what others say in the kingdom of Christ!

I was glad that I added this book to my devotional time. The Author covers a vast variety of topics and shares his well-earned wisdom on a great variety of topics. Each topic is only a page or so, thus making it a useful devotional tool. Those, like me, whose political views are a bit left of centre and/or who are not American, will no doubt find several of the topics a bit disagreeable or a bit irrelevant. This is the only reason I reduced to a 4 star :) I have appreciated the work of this Author for some time, and am glad to see that though he is into his 10th decade that he is still producing works to share with Christian readers around the world!
