People are lonely. They want company and your book can provide them company and a little bit of hope. And there's nothing wrong with that.

Earthly love… is temporal and slight so that is has to be given again and again in order for us to feel any sense of security but God’s love, God’s voice and presence, would instill our souls with such affirmation we would need nothing more and would cause us to love other people so much we would be willing to die for them.

I don't read a lot of inspirational books for life. But for writing, I think the two best books are The War of Art and William Zinsser's On Writing Well. I read a lot of classics.

Most great art is freedom within form. Without form, we are amateurs, without freedom, we are robots.

I took William Zinsser's advice that you write to yourself and you hope that there are people out there who are like you.

If what you are doing is important, you will encounter resistance. If what you are doing isn't important it will be easy.

I think if you like somebody you have to tell them. It might be embarrassing to say it, but you will never regret stepping up. I know from personal experience, however, that you should not keep telling a girl that you like her after she tells you she isn't into it. You should not keep riding your bike by her house either.

Good writers show rather than tell. Stories are told in action. Life stories are no different.
