Anger is the right response to something that is so wrong. But don't let the anger and pain and loss you feel prevent you from forgiving him and removing your hands from around his neck.
William P. Young
Truth will set you free. And Truth has a name.
William P. Young
He was sick of God and God's religion, sick of all the little religious social clubs that didn't seem to make any real difference or affect any real changes.
William P. Young
I suppose that since most of our hurts come through relationships so will our healing, and I know that grace rarely makes sense for those looking in from the outside.
William P. Young
I don't just want a piece of you and a piece of your life. Even if you were able, which you are not, to give me the biggest piece, that is not what I want. I want all of you and all of every part of you and your day.
William P. Young
I think good creative writing opens up space for people to come into. Let God reach out and touch the human soul. That's not my job. I get to be present and create as much space as I can ... That frees me up just to be creative in the way I want to be.

William P. Young
Perhaps there is supranatural: reason beyond the normal definitions of fact or data-based logic something that only makes sense if you can see a bigger picture of reality. Maybe that is where faith fits in.
William P. Young
I think that most creative fiction involves the transformational process, whether it is Dickens or Dostoyevsky and the writer in some sense is expressing their own journey through such a wilderness.
William P. Young
You need boundaries... Even in our material creations, boundaries mark the most beautiful of places, between the ocean and the shore, between the mountains and the plains, where the canyon meets the river.
William P. Young
If you and I are friends, there is an expectancy that exists within our relationship. When we see each other or are apart, there is an expectancy of being together, of laughing and talking. The expectancy has no concrete definition it is alive and dynamic and everything that emerges from our being together is a unique gift shared by no one else.
William P. Young
I am especially fond of you.
William P. Young
Forgiveness is not about forgetting. It is about letting go of another person's throat.
William P. Young
Life takes a bit of time and a lot of relationship.

Image and appearance tell you little. The inside is bigger than the outside when you have the eyes to see.
