“You are all Sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.”
“Galatians 3:26—29 and read: You are all Sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.”
“This is your pilot, God speaking. I will be handling all of your problems today. I do not need your advice on exactly how to do my job. There may be turbulence along the way, but do not worry. I control the wind. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the life.”
“Father, You said that You would never leave me or forsake me. Right now, all I have to stand on is Your Word. Thank You for those promises, and give me the strength to make it through this. In Jesus’ name, amen.”
“If you can be talked into something, you can be talked out of it. But when you experience something for yourself, you can’t deny that. It becomes your undisputed truth, and no one can convince you otherwise.”
“the truth isn’t in the facts, and the facts don’t always tell the truth. The truth is in the experience.”
“was the chance of a lifetime. I had the opportunity, for once, to show white women what it feels like to have one of your most eligible bachelors snatched off the market right before your very eyes. Then maybe they’d tell two friends. And so on and so on and so on, until we got our men back. Well, that was a long shot, but it would certainly feel good.”
“Listen, what I learned through my experiences was that I want somebody who knows the Lord and loves Him so much that everything he does reflects his relationship with Christ.”
“you teach men how to treat you.”
“Psalms 141:3: Set a guard over my mouth, O Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips.”
“When two people who are already committed to Christ come together, they complement each other. Those two whole people don’t have to beat around the bush when it comes to what they will or will not accept in a relationship.”
“That’s why I’m waiting on my Boaz.” I nodded and smiled. “He’s the epitome of my Mr. Right. I figure, if God can make a Boaz for Ruth, He can make another one for me.” “Who’s Boaz?” Deniessa asked. “Boaz was a man in the Bible—the Book of Ruth, to be exact,” I explained. “The original knight in shining armor. Boaz was an honorable, compassionate, rich man.”
“You see, the world has made this courtship and marriage process way too hard. If people would stop actin’ married before they get married, we’d probably cut the chase time in half.” There was a hum of laughter. “I mean, think about it. People who weren’t looking to be married would stop tying up those of you who are seriously seeking a mate. Yet, that’s not how the world operates, and that is precisely why relationships between men and women of the world will continue to decline. But that should not and does not have any bearing on what you can expect as a couple united in Christ. I believe that God arranges marriages between His people.”
“when someone is going out of their way to make you miserable, recognize that it’s the enemy using that person to discourage you.”
“I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts men from every nation who fear him and do what is right.”
“You put God in your marriage and you ain’t got to worry ‘bout too much else. You’re gonna have your ups and downs, but the ups are higher and the downs don’t go so low or last so long when you got Jesus right in the middle of it.”
“He’s too old to be going to visit a cousin.”
“Was I supposed to make friends with whites and Hispanics and every other type of person on the globe? And”
“I wonder how her tribe can make such strange and complicated clothing but not even know how to wear a simple wrap!”
“Year by year, his life wasn't amounting to anything at all...And yet, another part of him had expanded: his self-consciousness, his self-pity -- oh, the tediousness of it...Shouldn't he return to a life where he might slice his own importance, to where he might relinquish this overrated control over his own destiny and perhaps be subtracted from its determination altogether? He might even experience that greatest luxury of not noticing himself at all.”
“Intelligence is ongoing, individual adaptability. Adaptations that an intelligent species may make in a single generation, other species make over many generations of selective breeding and selective dying.”
“Y, en ese momento bajo las estrellas, los cuatro entendieron lo más simple. A veces, el amor necesita un impulso de sus ángeles de la guarda para mantener los pies sobre la tierra. Pero una vez se emprende el vuelo, deben confiar en sus propias alas, para subir a las más elevadas e inimaginables alturas en el cielo... y más allá,”
“When walking through the “valley of shadows,” remember, a shadow is cast by a Light. —Austin O’Malley”
BookQuoters is a community of passionate readers who enjoy sharing the most meaningful, memorable and interesting quotes from great books. As the world communicates more and more via texts, memes and sound bytes, short but profound quotes from books have become more relevant and important. For some of us a quote becomes a mantra, a goal or a philosophy by which we live. For all of us, quotes are a great way to remember a book and to carry with us the author’s best ideas.
We thoughtfully gather quotes from our favorite books, both classic and current, and choose the ones that are most thought-provoking. Each quote represents a book that is interesting, well written and has potential to enhance the reader’s life. We also accept submissions from our visitors and will select the quotes we feel are most appealing to the BookQuoters community.
Founded in 2023, BookQuoters has quickly become a large and vibrant community of people who share an affinity for books. Books are seen by some as a throwback to a previous world; conversely, gleaning the main ideas of a book via a quote or a quick summary is typical of the Information Age but is a habit disdained by some diehard readers. We feel that we have the best of both worlds at BookQuoters; we read books cover-to-cover but offer you some of the highlights. We hope you’ll join us.
