Quotes that sturck me as I read:
Ch. 1: THE BEST NEWS: A REASON TO GET UP IN THE MORNING
"We must not offer people a system of redemption, a set of insights and principles. We offer people a Redeemer. In his power, we find the hope and help we need to defeat the most powerful enemies. Hope rests in the grace of the Redeemer, the only real means of lasting change." (pg. 8)

"In rejecting a biblical view of people, the world eliminates any hope of answering the 'what is wrong?' question accurately." (pg. 9)

"Sinners tend to respond sinfully to being sinned against." (pg. 11)

"Sin not only causes me to respond sinfully to suffering, it causes me to respond sinfully to blessing." (pg. 12)

"Independence, self-sufficiency, and self-absorption lead us to think of ourselves first and to climb over the fences between ourselves and our desires." (pg. 14)

"Sin also produces foolishness in us. Foolishness believes that there is no perspectives, insight, theory, or 'truth' more reliable than our own." (pg. 14)
