THE DAUGHTERS OF CALEB BENDER
Highlighted by 3 Kindle customers -
the change one man makes in the world is so little we wouldn’t even see it, and that’s why we need faith. If a man lives without faith, he pulls the world toward himself – only an inch, mebbe, but he makes it hard for people around him to live in faith because they learn to fear him. They are afraid to be without. If a lot of men live selfish lives for a very long time, they move their world a lot of inches the wrong way, and they end up with a country full of hungry people who steal because they are afraid.”
