• The truth is, a man can choose to objectify a woman whether she’s wearing a bikini or a burqa. We don’t stop lust by covering up the female form; we stop lust by teaching men to treat women as human beings worthy of respect.

• In an age of information overload ... the last thing any of us needs is more information about God. We need the practice of incarnation, by which God saves the lives of those whose intellectual assent has turned them dry as dust, who have run frighteningly low on the Bread of Life, who are dying to know more God in their bodies. Not more about God. More God.

• I think maybe God was trying to tell me that gentleness begins with strength, quietness with security. A great tree is both moved and unmoved, for it changes with the seasons, but its roots keep it anchored in the ground. Mastering a gentle and quiet spirit didn’t mean changing my personality, just regaining control of it, growing strong enough to hold back and secure enough to soften.

• Walking with someone through grief, or through the process of reconciliation, requires patience, presence, and a willingness to wander, to take the scenic route. But the modern-day church doesn't like to wander or wait. The modern-day church likes results. Convinced the gospel is a product we've got to sell to an increasingly shrinking market, we like our people to function as walking advertisements: happy, put-together, finished - proof that this Jesus stuff WORKS!

• I'm a Christian because Christianity names and addresses sin. It acknowledges the reality that the evil we observe in the world is also present within ourselves. It tells the truth about the human condition - that we're not okay.

• While the word charity connotes a single act of giving, justice speaks to right living, of aligning oneself with the world in a way that sustains rather than exploits the rest of creation. Justice is not a gift; it’s a lifestyle, a commitment to the Jewish concept of tikkun olam—‘repairing the world.’

• Millennials aren't looking for a hipper Christianity. We're looking for a truer Christianity, a more authentic Christianity. Like every generation before ours and every generation after, we're looking for Jesus-the same Jesus who can be found in the strange places he's always been found: in bread, in wine, in baptism, in the Word, in suffering, in community, and among the least of these.

• And so, at least symbolically, the blood of Eve courses through each one of her daughters' veins. We are each associated with life; each subject to the impossible expectations and cruel projections of men; each fallen, blamed, and misunderstood; and each stubbornly vital to the process of bringing something new--perhaps something better--into this world...We are each an Eve.

• Lo que hace que nuestro matrimonio sea sagrado, lo que lo hace "apartado" y sacramental, no es el certificado de matrimonio archivado en el sótano o el grado en que seguimos una lista de normas y roles, sino la forma en que Dios aparece en esos momentos cotidianos -cargar el lavavajillas, compartir un chiste, organizar una comida, soportar una enfermedad, resolver un desacuerdo- y nos da la oportunidad de darnos cuenta, de prestar atención a lo divino. Es la forma en que el Dios de la resurrección hace nuevas todas las cosas.

• When the people of God abandoned the covenant of love and fidelity, drawn as we are by the appeal of shallow, empty pleasures, God removed every possible obstruction to the covenant by being faithful for us, by becoming like us and subjecting Himself to the very worst within us, loving us all the way to the cross and all the way out of the grave.

• My friend Adele describes fundamentalism as holding so tightly to your beliefs that your fingernails leave imprints on the palm of your hand... I think she's right. I was a fundamentalist not because of the beliefs I held but because of how I held them: with a death grip. It would take God himself to finally pry them out of my hands. (p.17-18)

• Desde el pasillo de la repostería hasta la cola de correos, pasando por la papelera del desván, las mujeres pueblan todos los rincones oscuros de la Navidad. ¿Quién se levantó a las 4 de la mañana para meter el jamón en el horno? Una mujer. . . ¿Quién envió la tarjeta de Navidad en la que describía el encarcelamiento de su hijo de dieciocho años como "un breve descanso antes de la universidad"? Una mujer. ¿Quién se acordó de incluir pilas en el fondo de cada calcetín? Una mujer. ¿Y quién se lleva el mérito de todo esto? Santa. Así es. Un hombre.
