It's in the heart.

Pi: Father, I would like to be a Christian, please.
Father: You already are, Piscine --in your heart. Whoever meets Christ in good faith is a Christian.

“ We recognize that traumatic events can change our lives, for better or for worse. They can bring about deep character and personality change. Allowing his disciples to face a storm alone in a boat is an example of Jesus using controlled trauma with masterful skill to help them take the step toward trust they would never be able to develop on their own.

“ There is danger in getting out of the boat. But there is danger in staying in it as well. If you live in the boat —whatever your boat happens to be —you will eventually die of boredom and stagnation. Everything is risky.

“ Your life is a Love Story set in the midst of a life-and-death battle. The beauty, the adventure, the intimacy —they are what are most real. But it is a battle to gain them and a battle to keep them. A battle for your own heart and a battle for the hearts around you.

“ As Christians, we’re citizens of heaven. We belong to the kingdom of God. We need to be on our best behavior, otherwise people will get a distorted perception of what our homeland is like. Our culture here on earth is pagan, that’s for sure. But that’s why God left us here: to show others what it’s like to be a member of another country, to have a citizenship in another land, that we might create a desire for others to immigrate.

97: Random Thoughts about Life, Love, & Relationships by Justin Lookado

Though I haven’t finished reading Captivating yet, I already began reading a new book. I chose 97 by Justin Lookado!

I got this in the recent Manila International book fair in SMX. Bought it in a very cheap price! Must say that this one is a really good buy! Teehee! :”>

This is Lookado’s book I’ll first read. Hope I won’t get disappointed. I actually didn’t have plans of reading it without finishing the one pending but because I left my copy of Captivating in QC…and can’t stand having an idle time, I opted to start this one.

I know this is an easy read so I guess I’ll end reading the entire stuff within a week!

BTW, I bought this only because I found the layout…cute! (I know. I know. Such a lame reason! But you should know I love designs!!)

Different layout per page! It makes the reading a lot more fun! =D
