“Everything that originates from God will endure the test of time. Therefore, it is good to check out the origins of everything to make sure they were started by God.”
― Eric Ludy, quote from When God Writes Your Love Story
“Humility is measured by how quickly you can admit that you are wrong.”
― Eric Ludy, quote from When God Writes Your Love Story
“The gospel is not outward rituals and sacrifices, it is a living sacrifice. It is to have the laws of God written in our heart. It is to have a soft, listening, responding heart to God.”
― Eric Ludy, quote from When God Writes Your Love Story
“Most people never realize that loneliness is a gift from God. Not only can it draw us closer to Jesus, it can teach us to cherish a long-awaited marriage relationship all the more.”
― Eric Ludy, quote from When God Writes Your Love Story
“A real man, the kind of man a woman wants to give her life to, is one who will respect her dignity, who will honor her like the valuable treasures she is. A real man will not attempt to rip her precious pearl from its protective shell, or persuade her with charm to give away her treasure prematurely, but he will wait patiently until she willingly gives him the prize of her heart. A real man will cherish and care for that precious prize forever.”
― Eric Ludy, quote from When God Writes Your Love Story
“I won’t give my heart to another girl until God shows me it’s my wife.”
― Eric Ludy, quote from When God Writes Your Love Story
“As for God, His way is perfect. PSALM 18:30”
― Eric Ludy, quote from When God Writes Your Love Story
“Don’t try to build Me into your life anymore. Instead, build your life around Me.”
― Eric Ludy, quote from When God Writes Your Love Story
“you’re blessed when you are out of options and all you can do is lean on God. Because when you realize your need for God, it is only then that you tap into His immeasurable greatness and goodness. You’re blessed when you’ve been stripped of that which is most precious to you. Only then can you be tenderly embraced by the One most precious to you.”
― Eric Ludy, quote from When God Writes Your Love Story
“If God is going to write your loves story, He's going to first need your pen.”
― Eric Ludy, quote from When God Writes Your Love Story
“The floods washed away home and mill, all the poor man had in the world. But as he stood on the scene of his loss, after the water had subsided, brokenhearted and discouraged, he saw something shining in the bank which the waters had washed bare. “It looks like gold,” he said. It was gold. The flood which had beggared him made him rich.3 HENRY CLAY TRUMBULL”
― Eric Ludy, quote from When God Writes Your Love Story
“Even though my Sunday school upbringing had taught me that God loved me, inwardly I always suspected that maybe He was more interested in making me miserable than in blessing me.”
― Eric Ludy, quote from When God Writes Your Love Story
“A true leader cannot be dependent on companionship for his or her security, but must learn to trust in God alone.”
― Eric Ludy, quote from When God Writes Your Love Story
“The world is always in a hurry, but I teach My children patience. Live, expecting a full and joyous life. And learn to trust My perfect timing so that you may discover that all the pain found in waiting has a magnificent and awesome purpose.”
― Eric Ludy, quote from When God Writes Your Love Story
“In no way did God want me to settle for one of the typical “jerks” who were a dime a dozen. He wanted me to save myself for a man who had His very nature and character within him. And He wanted me to trust Him enough to bring that special man to me in His perfect time.”
― Eric Ludy, quote from When God Writes Your Love Story
“No matter how many rules we make for ourselves, rules don't create godly relationships. Only leaning on our faithful Father and longing to please Him with everything we do will set the stage for a beautiful romance!”
― Eric Ludy, quote from When God Writes Your Love Story
“If you are longing for something more than the hit-and-run relationship cycle, something beautiful and meaningful in your life, then I'm going to lay it on the line. You must let go of the captain's position in your life and trust Him. You must give up the little you're hanging on to now to gain something infinitely greater. You must let go of the helm and let Him lead.”
― Eric Ludy, quote from When God Writes Your Love Story
“There are two ways each of us can approach life: spending our days meeting our needs or looking for ways to meet others' needs. The mystery is that when we spend our life focused on our own needs, we are never satisfied... but when we pour out our life and focus on how we can serve others... our deepest needs are met as well!”
― Eric Ludy, quote from When God Writes Your Love Story
“Leslie, don’t you believe that I know who you will marry, and that I’m capable of leading you to that right man someday?”
― Eric Ludy, quote from When God Writes Your Love Story
“If there is no scent of Christ’s love on someone, then they bear no evidence of true devotion to Christ.”
― Eric Ludy, quote from When God Writes Your Love Story
“The Greek meaning of the word "blessed" is "supreme happiness." [see Matthew 5:3-5]”
― Eric Ludy, quote from When God Writes Your Love Story
“Inviting God to write the chapters of our loves story involves work on our part - not just a scattered prayer here and there, not merely a feeble attempt to find some insight by flopping open the Bible every now and then. It's seeking Him on a daily basis, putting Him in first place at all times, discovering His heart.”
― Eric Ludy, quote from When God Writes Your Love Story
“God made it clear to me that if He were concerned about His reputation, He would not have chosen someone like me to represent Him in the first place. And if He were pursuing popularity, He would not have allowed Himself to be hung naked between two thieves on a cross.”
― Eric Ludy, quote from When God Writes Your Love Story
“Remember the infamous question that most of us learned back in the days of youth group powwow sessions? That’s right. How far is too far? Which is really a code question asking, “How much can I get away with and not make God mad?” Let’s start asking a new question: “How far can I possibly go to bring joy to the heart of my heavenly Father in this area of my life?”
― Eric Ludy, quote from When God Writes Your Love Story
“She [the wife of godly character] brings him [her husband] good, not harm, all the days of her life (Proverbs 31:12). Wait a minute! My mind raced. All the days of her life? What was that supposed to mean? I had yet to meet any woman who had been married all the days of her life. Did this verse mean that she tried to do her husband good…even before she met him?”
― Eric Ludy, quote from When God Writes Your Love Story
“Extravagant love, as in every generation before us, has been ridiculed and scorned. it is seen as wasteful and reckless overspending. But extravagant love, the offering of everything, the emptying of the pockets of our life, is the essence of true Christianity.”
― Eric Ludy, quote from When God Writes Your Love Story

“Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea," translated Florent. "By Jules Verne. This book I have not read in many years."
"We're reading it in French class," Joseph said. "It's hard to understand, but I found a line that Uncle Albert would love."
Florent opened to a dog-eared page where Joseph had underlined a sentence and written the translation in the margin. Florent read it out loud. "'Let me tell you, Professor, that you will not regret the time spent on board. You are going to travel in a a land of marvels.”

“Healing infirmities or forgiving sins, Jesus always responds to a prayer offered in faith: “Your faith has made you well; go in peace.”

“Dearest Alexia,
Oh, please absolve me of this guilt I already feel squishing on my very soul! My troubled heart weeps! Oh dear, Ivy was getting flowery. My bones ache with the sin that I am about to commit. Oh, why must I have bones? I have lost myself to this transplanting love. You could not possibly understand how this feels! Yet try to comprehend, dearest Alexia, I am like a delicate bloom. Marriage without love is all very well for people like you, but I should wilt and wither. I need a man possessed of a poet’s soul! I am simply not so stoic as you. I cannot stand to be apart from him one moment longer! The caboose of my love has derailed, and I must sacrifice all for the man I adore! Please do not judge me harshly! It was all for love!
~ Ivy.”

The Short Second Lif...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.
