“Now a confirmed atheist, I've become convinced of the enormous contribution that Christian evangelism makes in Africa: sharply distinct from the work of secular NGOs, government projects and international aid efforts. These alone will not do. Education and training alone will not do. In Africa Christianity changes people's hearts. It brings a spiritual transformation. The rebirth is real. The change is good.” PeopleHeartRealGovernmentChristianSpiritualEffortChristianityProjectsTrainingTransformationInternationalAtheistConvincedAidsEnormousContributionSecularRebirthEvangelismSpiritual TransformationChange Is Good Author:Matthew Parris

“It seems to me shallow and arrogant for any man in these times to claim he is completely self-made, that he owes all his success to his own unaided efforts.

“For me, exploration was a personal venture. I did not go to the Arabian desert to collect plants nor to make a map; such things were incidental. At heart I knew that to write or even to talk of my travels was to tarnish the achievement. I went there to find peace in the hardship of desert travel and the company of desert peoples. I set myself a goal on these journeys, and, although the goal itself was unimportant, its attainment had to be worth every effort and sacrifice... No, it is not the goal but the way there that matters, and the harder the way the more worth while the journey.” WayWritingHeartMatterGoalEffortCompanySacrificeJourneyAchievementHarderPlantDesertMapsHardshipExplorationVentureAttainmentUnimportantFinding PeaceArabian Book:Arabian Sands Source: Arabian Sands
