Quote

I like characters who are changed, often for the better, by the dark nature of their experiences. I also can become engaged by a character for whom I wish to see justice done, one way or the other. In general, I require a book to have some sort of moral center.

I think books with spiritual themes simply point to the deeper mysteries of life - to what lies beyond us, to what's hidden inside of us, or perhaps to an understanding of what truly matters.

I read secular fiction, but also enjoy novels with a Christian worldview.

A good book is the precious lifeblood of a master spirit.

The moral systems of religion, I think, are super important.

Books are challenging and inspirational to me.

Books follow morals, and not morals books.

The great book for you is the book that has the most to say to you at the moment when you are reading. I do not mean the book that is most instructive, but the book that feeds your spirit. And that depends on your age, your experience, your psychological and spiritual need.

Books seem so much more - much more sacred to me, and more important and essential, than they were when I was young.

I bring spiritual books with me while travelling. I like books about thoughts and how you see the world.
