YOUNG PREACHERS

'He was young enough to be a little proud of his first sermon, to which he had given considerable thought.' 

Margaret Craven, I Heard The Owl Call My Name, p.35.

GOOD TEACHERS

'The satisfied never make good teachers. It isn't the mastery of truth, but a relentless longing for it that qualifies those who become trusted guides for others. Mark it down as a rule: the desert alone possesses the secret knowledge of water.' 

Belden C Lane, Ravished by Beauty: The Surprising Legacy of Reformed Spirituality, p.1.
