Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

#1 God can get tiny if we are not careful. We all have an image of God that becomes the touchstone, the controlling principle, to which we return when we stray.

#2 I was told that I would get Good Mike on the show, but instead, I was subjected to the insensitivity of Mike Wallace, a 60 Minutes film crew, and a parishioner who was there to interview me. In the end, Wallace turned to a gang member and asked him why he didn’t turn to the police. The boy just stared at him.

#3 To be able to marinate in the fullness of God, you must first choose to be intoxicated by it. To anchor yourself in this God is to choose to be intoxicated by the fullness of God.

#4 To the homies, firme means, could not be one bit better. Not only does God think we’re firme, it is God’s joy to have us marinate in that.
