“You'd been in Sunday school long enough to know how the story goes: the voice of God comes down from the sky and asks you to go where you don't want to go, to do what you don't want to do. And you have to do it anyway.” CallingMissionary Work Book:When We Were on Fire: A Memoir of Consuming Faith, Tangled Love, and Starting Over Source: When We Were on Fire: A Memoir of Consuming Faith, Tangled Love, and Starting Over
“Reform suggests that you have already been solidified into a self. You were not. You were barely fifteen. You learn that the brain is not fully formed until you're twenty-five years old, and you wonder, then, what becomes of the mind commandeered before it has learned to follow paths of logic. You were soft as clay straight from the earth. You were reformed before you were formed.” ReligionChristianityEvangelismBrainwashingJesus Freak Book:When We Were on Fire: A Memoir of Consuming Faith, Tangled Love, and Starting Over Source: When We Were on Fire: A Memoir of Consuming Faith, Tangled Love, and Starting Over
