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.

Everybody wants to be somebody fancy. Even if they're shy.

I heard once that real love doesn't ask what is in it for me it just gives unconditionally. It just tries to take the weight out of somebody else's pack, lessen his load, and if it gets reciprocated, that's great, but that isn't what you did it for.

You can't tell a good story without conflict - the story can't be beautiful or meaningful. We're taught to run from conflict, and it's robbing us of some really good stories.

I often learn more about myself from listening to the life story of a friend than I do reflecting on my own story.

All this beauty exists so you and I can see His glory, His artwork. It's like an invitation to worship Him, to know Him.

The sexual conquest is huge with men in terms of affirming themselves and their feelings of masculinity. That's a misguided kind of affirmation. That is not helpful, but that stuff happens.

Lets choose to do something really difficult, something that saves lives, and let's do that thing with people we love.

Don't let go of your strength or your beauty. It was given to you by God.

The thing I loved about her was that I never felt like she was selling anything. She would talk to God as if she knew Him, as if she had talked to Him on the phone that day. She was never ashamed which is the thing with some Christians I had encountered.

Dying for something is easy because it is associated with glory. Living for something is the hard thing. Living for something extends beyond fashion, glory, or recognition. We live for what we believe.

We don't think much about how our love stories will affect the world, but they do. Children learn what's worth living for and what's worth dying for by the stories they watch us live. I want to teach our children how to get scary close, and more, how to be brave. I want to teach them that love is worth what it costs.

Meaning is something we experience more than we attain. It's like finding a nice, easy current in a river that carries you through life.

Of his new book, Don says: “It might be the greatest book ever written. I don’t think anybody is going to read a book again after they read my new one. I think God is proud of me. I am going to make a killing off this thing and I’m going to use the money to go to space.

Flattery has a short battery life, but reminding people they are amazing and precious and wanted and works of art can truly change their lives.

God doesn't give us crying, pooping children because he wants to advance our careers.

It's possible to do both as a writer - to engage and have a family and all that good stuff - and I chose not to for the sake of the career.

I am early in my story, but I believe I will stretch out into eternity, and in heaven I will reflect upon these early days, these days when it seemed God was down a dirt road, walking toward me. Years ago He was a swinging speck in the distance now He is close enough I can hear His singing. Soon I will see the lines on His face.

The trouble with deep belief is that it costs something. And there is something inside me, some selfish beast of a subtle thing that doesn't like the truth at all because it carries responsibility, and if I actually believe these things I have to do something about them. It is so, so cumbersome to believe anything. And it isn't cool.

When I started studying the issue and issues related to fatherlessness, I realized I had all of them. Fear of intimacy, fear of commitment, poor work ethic, just stuff that you don't have when you don't have a man in your life to look you in the eye and say, You're good, or Good job.
