“... without the incarnation, Christianity isn't even a very good story, and most sadly, it means nothing. "Be nice to one another" is not a message that can give my life meaning, assure me of love beyond brokenness, and break open the dark doors of death with the key of hope. The incarnation is an essential part of Jesus-shaped spirituality.”

“Very well. I’m confident Papa told you about our missed connection aboard the Grimm vessel.” “What’s a vessel?” Daphne asked. “The layman calls it a boat,” Pinocchio explained. “What’s a layman?” Daphne asked. “Oh dear. The schools in this town are failing the youth,” Pinocchio said.”

“The modern abridgments and retellings of Pinocchio, of which Disney’s only the most well known, soften the violence of death in Collodi’s original tale and as a result sweeten and sentimentalize the love that grows within Pinocchio. Thus they also fail to capture the gritty nature of the puppet’s courage and endurance. Pinocchio’s close calls with death, whether when dangling over the showman’s fire, hanging from a tree, or being plunged into the dark depths of the sea, are also the hard lessons he learns about the true value of life, the reality of reciprocal love, and the necessity of self-expending love in the face of evil and danger.”
