When I remembered what a narrow and finite life I should anon awake to! ~Henry David Thoreau

#quotes #charles-dickens #prayer

I had wanted simply to convey to the reader by way of concrete example that life holds a potential meaning under any conditions, even the most miserable ones. And I thought that if the point were demonstrated in a situation as extreme as that in a concentration camp, my book might gain a hearing.

God will never reject you. Whether you accept Him is your decision. ~Charles Stanley
