These are the quotes from the book. Not actually from the body, but the ones that WM. Paul Young put in before each chapter began. I really enjoyed this book.
◆Growth means change and change involves risk, stepping from the known to the unknown. -Author Unknown [chp 8]

◆You can kiss your family and friends good-bye and put miles between you, but at the same time you carry them with you in your heart, your mind, your stomach, because you do not just live in a world but a world lives in you. - Frederick Buechner, Telling the Truth [chp 15]
◆Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. - Thomas Moore, "Come Ye Disconsolate" [chp 17]
