God has for each of us great and mighty things which 'eye hath not seen nor ear heard,, neither hath it entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him.'

"Life is too short to nurse one's misery. Hurry across the lowlands, that you may spend more time on the mountain tops." (Philip Brooks)

"John Bunyan, by trade a tinker and by nature headstrong and passionate, lived a carefree and reckless life - until he became a Christian. Then he turned his immense energies into publicly preaching the gospel that had redeemed him - until he was thrown into jail. (It was contrary to English law for dissenters from the State religion to hold public meetings.) Even in the face of imprisonment the freedom-loving nature did not despair. During the twelve years of confinement in Bedford jail, Bunyan supported his family by making shoe laces, and affirmed his Christian faith by writing Pilgrim's Progress. His book became the most popular and effective tract in propagating Christianity ever written."
