Want to Read $ 15.19"The gift of the past is not that people learned to suffer through some plan orchestrated by God. Rather, seeing how our forebears lived out God’s story in the midst of their suffering helps us to seek God in the midst of ours."-Bruce Reyes-Chow, Everything Good about God Is True: Choosing Faith
"We can no longer abdicate the Christian story to hate, violence, and oppression. Those of us who occupy this more loving, just, and extended version of the Christian story must do a better job of claiming, articulating, and speaking the hell up."-Bruce Reyes-Chow, Everything Good about God Is True: Choosing Faith
"God takes the side of the suffering —those who are suffering in body, mind, heart, spirit, or soul. God not only takes the side of the suffering; God weeps when we bear the brunt of violence, oppression, and poverty brought about by condition, circumstance, or even choice."-Bruce Reyes-Chow, Everything Good about God Is True: Choosing Faith
