Dietrich Bonhoeffer has long been one of my favorites. Scot McKnight shares his view on Life Together and includes some quotes from the book that are worth remembering. I’d say that Life Together should be required reading for all 21st Century Christians.

What I Said Some Time Ago

“I shall not find Christ at the end of my journey unless he accompanies me along the way.” - Esther De Waal, Celtic Way of Prayer
“Our chance to be healed comes when the waters of our life are disturbed.” – Elizabeth O’Conner, Call to Commitment
"It is not allowable to love the Creation according to the purposes one has for it, any more than it is allowable to love one’s neighbor in order to borrow his tools." - Wendell Berry, Sex, Economy, Freedom and Community
"It has always been more difficult to come to terms with Jesus as the way than with Jesus as the truth. It is more difficult to realize the ways our thinking and behavior get fused into a life of relational love and adoration with neighbor and God, God and neighbor." - Eugene Peterson, "Christian Century", Nov 29, 2003
"Past is past. Past is not present. Did is not do. Was is not is." - John Wesley Weasel in Book of the Dun Cowby Walter Wangerin.
