BOOKS & MEMORY

'Every book holds a memory. When you hold a book in your hand, you access not only the contents of that book but the fragments of the previous selves that you were you read it.'

Cathy Rentzenbrink, Dear Reader: The Comfort and Joy of Books, p.225.

PRO-CHOICE IS NOT PRO-WOMEN

'Throughout history the vast majority of babies who have died by abortion (before birth) or infanticide (after birth) have been girls. This is still true globally today. The idea that being "pro-choice" (in favor of abortion means) being pro-women does not fit with this reality.'

Rebecca McLaughlin, 10 Questions Every Teen Should Ask (and Answer) about Christianity, p.141.

THE PERFECT MAN

'Some people think real men don't cry. But Jesus cried. Some people think real men sleep with lots of women. But Jesus never even had a girlfriend. Some people think real men don't stand for insults. But Jesus took insults all day long. He defended the weak, but he wouldn't fight back to defend himself. Some people think real men don't cook or care for kids. But Jesus did both these things. If we want to know what it means to be a perfect man, we must look at Jesus.'
