Blue Like Jazz is full of little nuggets like:
"Nothing is going to change in the Congo until you and I figure out what is wrong with the person in the mirror."
"The magical proposition of the gospel, once free from the clasps of fairy tale, is very adult to me, vry gritty like something from Hemingway or Steinbeck....
Christian spirituality was not a children's story. It wasn't neat or cute. It was mystical and odd and clean....There was wonder in it and enchantment."
"There is something quite beautiful about the Grand Canyon at night. There is something beautiful about a billion stars held steady by a God who knows what He is doing. (They hang there, the stars, like notes on a page of music, free- form verse, silent mysteries swirling in the blue like jazz.)"
"The most difficult lie I have ever contended with is this: Life is a story about me....There is no addiction so powerful as self-addiction."
"And may the master pour on the love so IT fills your lives and splashes over on everyone around you." I. Thess. 3:12 The Message
