I am taking my team through my favorite book on Spiritual Growth called Dangerous Wonder by Mike Yaconelli.  I have been reading it like it was the first time.  I can’t shake this book.  Here are a couple of quotes for you to chew on.

“The voice of our childhood is the voice of wonder and amazement, the voice of God, which has always been speaking to us, even before we were born…but our lives became louder.  The increasing crescendo of our possessions, the ear-piercing noise of busyness, and the soul smothering volume of our endless activity drowned out the still small voice of God.”

“The Good News is no longer good news, it is okay news.  Christianity is no longer life changing, it is life enhancing.  Jesus doesn’t change poeple into wild-eyed radicals anymore, He changes them into ‘nice people’.”

“The greatest enemy of Christianity may be people who say they believe in Jesus but who are no longer astonished and amazed.”

“Most of us act as if it is more important to make a living than to live.”
