"When we fall out of love - out of this giddy wonderful period - it's partly because we run out of energy to be continually fascinated." - Mark Galli author of Jesus Mean and Wild - The Unexpected Love of an Untamable God

I read this book last year.  It is not one of those must reads that you tell everyone about but it was more than worth the effort.  I just picked it up again the other day and skimmed the underline portions of the book.  This is one of the ways I like to reflect on what I read and also a good indicator of how applicable the book was for me.  Many pages without anything underlined is not a good sign.  That was not the case with this book.

There were many passages that were thought provoking.  They inspired me to want to live passionately for God or helped me realize I had not been doing so.  The above quote was one of many of those passages. Here is another:

"Prayer, when pracitced with utmost attention, does strange things to people because deep prayer is nothing less than an encounter with the living God."
