Liz Curtis Higgs quotes:

If the Almighty directs our steps, we've no need to look back over our shoulders.

Simply put, Redeeming Love is the most powerful work of fiction you will ever read.

Laughing together heartily at the same thing forms an instant bond.

Wise is the woman who rises above her circumstances.

When men declare their love for us, we should handle them with the utmost care, even if the feelings aren't mutual. For the sake of future marital happiness, or to leave their hearts intact for another woman down the pike, let's be gentle and trustworthy with their brave declarations.

Fun is temporary at best; it's risky, even dangerous, at worst. Joy, on the other hand, was mystery I couldn't seem to decipher.

Hard times are purposeful, meant to refine and redirect us. They're not arbitrary or random, and they're definitely not cruel.

My heart's desire is to find more opportunities to give myself away and teach my children the joy of service at the same time.

By God's design, I believe our hearts and minds are shaped by Story. It's how we learn. It's how we make sense of the world. Characters, situations, moral consequences are all around us.

The choice is yours: Enjoy a delicious meal of, say, veal fantarella with grilled vegetables. Or spend a quiet hour reading David Gregory's book. You may find an altogether different sort of hunger has been sated by the final page. Brilliant in its simplicity, fearless in its presentation of the truth, Dinner with a Perfect Stranger is one invitation you'll want to RSVP.

History provides a great example but a terrible excuse.

For me, laughter is how we take a much needed break from the heartache, such that when we turn to face it again, it has by some miracle grown smaller in size and intensity, yet not disappeared altogether.

It's not where we've been that matters to God. It's who we are becoming in Him.

The head thinks, the hands labor, but it's the heart that laughs.
