I recently read Long Journey Home by Os Guinness. It was very good and gave me lots to think about. It is written to the seeking "thinker," who is looking for truth. A few quotes that I have enjoyed pondering are:
"Love in action is a harsh and dreadful thing compared with love in dreams." This is a line from the Brothers Karamazov.
The God whom Jesus shows on the cross in one who defeats evil by letting it do its very worst to Him and then overcoming it.
By all means love, by all means desire, but consider carefully what you love and what you desire. We're incomplete in ourselves so we desire whatever we think is beckoning to complete us.
Speaking of our "quest" for God, "The secret of the quest lies not in our brilliance but in His grace."
