Quote

We think you'll find that every woman in her heart of hearts longs for three things: to be romanced, to play an irreplaceable role in a great adventure, and to unveil beauty. That's what makes a woman come alive.

It takes great courage to be vulnerable. It takes enormous strength to be a real woman.

You live in a world at war. Spiritual attack must be a category you think in or you will misunderstand more than half of what happens in your marriage.

We abandon the most important journey of our lives when we abandon desire. We leave our hearts by the side of the road and head off in the direction of fitting in, getting by, being productive, what have you. Whatever we might gain – money, position, the approval of others, or just absence of the discontent self – it’s not worth it.

To find God, you must look with all your heart. To remain present to God, you must remain present to your heart. To hear his voice, you must listen with all your heart. To love him, you must love with all your heart. You cannot be the person God meant you to be, and you cannot live the life he meant you to live, unless you live from the heart.

If only Jesus' followers shared his personality. That one shift alone would correct so many of the ridiculous and horrifying things that pass for popular Christianity.

The story of your life is the story of the long and brutal assault on your heart by the one who knows what you could be and fears it.

I wasn't mean I wasn't evil. I was nice. And let me tell you, a hesitant man is the last thing in the world a woman needs. She needs a lover and a warrior, not a Really Nice Guy.

We are created for adventure, and if we cannot find one, we start blowing things out of proportion so it feels like we have one.

In the end, it doesn’t matter how well we have performed or what we have accomplished—a life without heart is not worth living.

God endowed you with a glory when he created you, a glory so deep and mythic that all creation pales in comparison.
