Curiosity and a Particular Joy
When we give others something excellent,
we reflect the
standards of heaven.
We make others curious.
When they get curious,
they’re open
to discovering things
they would not otherwise understand.
Such discoveries
provoke growth
and a particular joy.~ Jeffrey Overstreet

What a stunning quote– and how true. And now I have to have that book! Your reading list looks a lot like mine, so I have a feeling you may not be the best influence on my book budget! Thanks so much

What a small world. I just read my highschool’s update about what everybody’s doing, and he and his book were mentioned (obviously, he graduated after me!!!!). I think he’s related to my Bible teacher.
Welcome Janice! Oh boy – another conspirator in the reading life! I’m eager to explore your site.
Missing you …
