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.

A man must have a battle to fight, a great mission to his life that involves and yet transcends even home and family.

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.

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.

The true story of every person in this world is not the story you see, the external story. The true story of each person is the journey of his or her heart.
