Give, Not Get

Frederick Buechner, compiled by George Connor Listening to Your Life, Daily Meditations with Frederick Buechner, Harper San Francisco, 1992, p. 51. SoAmazing.com

Category: Christian Living, Spiritual Growth
ISBN: 0060698640

"IF THE WORLD is sane, then Jesus is mad as a hatter and the Last Supper is the Mad Tea Party. The world says, Mind your own business, and Jesus says, There is no such thing as your own business. The world says, Follow the wisest course and be a success, and Jesus says, Follow me and be crucified. The world says, Drive carefully--the life you save may be your own--and Jesus says, Whoever would save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. The world says, Law and order, and Jesus says, Love. The world says, Get, and Jesus says, Give. In terms of the world's sanity, Jesus is crazy as a coot, and anybody who thinks he can follow him without being a little crazy too is laboring less under a cross than under a delusion."

SoAmazing Review: In Listening to Your Heart, the best of Frederick Buechner has been compiled by George Conner into daily meditations. As such, the book is both inspiring and a wonderful look at the breadth of Buechner's writing. It will lift your heart.

"Mom also headed up the Pioneer Girls group that met at our church. Similar to a Girl Scouts program, Pioneer Girls had award levels and all sorts of badges we could earn for accomplishing certain tasks. We proudly applied our merit badges to a sash that we wore at meetings and other special events. Pioneer Girls was a good experience for me." Lisa Beamer, p. 49, Buy Let's Roll! Now
