“I believe God has instilled in us a craving, a deep desire to run with Him on a fantastic adventure, yet many of us crawl along in life without even a glimpse of our hidden passion. There has to be a reason for living. There must be a Camelot, a hidden Utopia where we can rest from our personal campaigns. Fantasy opens our eyes to a better place, a shining city we do not yet know. And these stories provide a mental bridge to that city as we pursue horizons we could never distinguish with our physical eyes.” KnowsBelieveReasonStoriesEyeRunningDesirePassionI BelieveCitiesFantasyAdventureShiningCampaignsPursueFantasticBridgesHorizonBelieve In GodGlimpseBetter PlaceCravingUtopiaCamelotDeep Desire Author:Bryan Davis

“Travel is the realm of the impossible adventures, the quick fix, the ship passing in the night. It entitles you to meet interesting people, whom you would never meet, even if you laid traps or advertised for them. Not only do you met them, but you also unmeet them, all in the space of, it often seems, a mere compacted evening. As there is so little time, bodies in motion drop their guard and immediately get on with their stories. Then the proverbial ships part, each to its destination, never again to brush each other's wake.” PeopleIfsLittlesStoriesBodySeemsNightSpaceInterestingImpossibleAdventureMetsMerePassingPassingsShipsEveningRealmsDestinationTrapsBrushesLittle TimeProverbialQuick FixesBodies In Motion Author:Lawrence Millman
“Someone once told me a story about long term relationships. To think of them as a continent to explore. I could spend a lifetime backpacking through Africa, and I would still never know all there is to know about that continent. To stay the course, to stay intentional, to stay curious and connected - that's the heart of it. But it's so easy to lose track of the trail, to get tired, to want to give up, or to want a new adventure. It can be so easy to lose sight of the goodness and mystery within the person sitting right in front of you.” ThinkingKnowsWantGivingHeartPersonsLongStillsStoriesCoursesEasyTermLosesMysteryFrontsAdventureGoodnessGiving UpSittingSightTiredLifetimeTrackConnectedCuriousLong TermContinentsTrailsBackpackingLong Term RelationshipNew Adventure Author:Joy Williams
“The thing is that my first novel, which was basically a mystery adventure story, won quite an important award in Spain for young adult fiction, and because of this it became a very successful book, and right now it's some sort of a standard title, it's read widely in many high schools in Spain, so I think, in a way, I was a victim of my own success in the field of young adult fiction, because it was never my own natural register.
