Gleanings from Price Library by Ruth Abbott

pullcart bookshelfQuotes are inspirational and there are many quotes in our library books. As you read, you may find some that will become your favorites.

Benjamin Franklin, once an avowed agnostic, said: "God governs in the affairs of men and if a sparrow cannot fall without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? 'Except that the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it'."

"Of all institutions, the church is the only one designed by God to be a caring community, representing Him in a tangible way in a world that has always been hurting. Why else would the church be called the Body of Christ?"  -- "Laughing In the Face of AIDs"  by G. Edward Rozar, M.C.

"Believers are in the ministry for as long as they live on this earth . . . .  It is not tradition or familiar forms of worship that change people. It is God's word." -- Rev. Roy McBeth, from a speech at Mt. Gilead, Sonoma, California (1996)

"Those not firm in the faith cannot understand the power of prayers. Those who are firm never fail to be amazed at how they are answered, exceeding human expectations and understanding."  -- Corazon Aquino, former president of Philippines

Prayer is a river at whose brink,
Some die of thirst,
While others kneel to drink.
