• El relato franco y colorista de Joaquin Jackson sobre su larga carrera como Ranger de Texas de hoy en día emociona como una novela de acción, pero las historias son verdaderas, a veces divertidas, a veces trágicas, pero siempre apasionantes. Apenas podía dejar de leer el libro. La redacción es magnífica.

• Mi temor es que de todas las opciones que la gente enfrenta hoy en día, la que rara vez consideran es: "¿Cómo puedo servir de manera más eficaz y fructífera en la iglesia local?" Me pregunto si la abundancia de oportunidades para explorar hoy está haciendo menos para ayudar a hacer discípulos bien formados de Cristo y más para ayudar a los cristianos a evitar la responsabilidad a largo plazo y tener menos impacto a largo plazo.

• Las mujeres siempre son asesinadas y mutiladas, ¡y nunca se les da el lugar que les corresponde como protagonistas!

• Commemoration of Brooke Foss Westcott, Bishop of Durham, Teacher, 1901 Be not afraid to pray... to pray is right. Pray if thou canst with hope; but ever pray Though hope be weak, or sick with long delay. Whatever is good to wish, ask that of heaven; But if for any wish thou darest not pray, Then pray to God to cast that wish away.
