Ruomie Reads's Reviews > Strength to Love

This book is one of those books you hold with so much reverence to an extent of not exactly wanting to review it, because of fear of misrepresenting the author’s intent.

With that said, I am just going to quote a few nuggets of wisdom I picked from this book, hoping that will help you determine whether it’s for you or not.

✨ Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.
✨ One day we will learn that the heart can never be totally right when the head is totally wrong.
✨ Forgiveness is not an occasional act; it is a permanent attitude
✨ The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy
✨ We (Christians) are called to be people of conviction, not conformity; of moral nobility, not social respectability. We are commanded to live differently and according to a higher loyalty.
✨Most people, and Christians in particular, are thermometers that record or register the temperature of majority opinion, not thermostats that transform and regulate the temperature of society.
✨ Be sure that the means you employ are as pure as the end you seek
