My favorite book is 'Redeeming Love.' It was my first as a born-again Christian, my statement of faith, and the most exciting year I've spent writing anything.

Have faith have faith. When you have nothing else have faith.

I became a Christian late, in my late 30s, so I had a lot of things that I was bringing into my Christian life that I regret. And I had a lot of questions about faith, so that's where I start when I write.

Unless we have something worth dying for, Atretes, we've nothing worth living for.

I gave up what I can't keep for something I can never lose.

The Lord will provide.
