Wild at Heart

In Wild at Heart by John Eldredge, there is a quote before chapter one by Howard Macey "The spiritual life cannot be made suburban. It is always frontier, and we who live in it must accept and even rejoice that it remains untamed." This quote has been on my heart and mind for weeks since I have read it. I have batched and paraphrased the quote to many people because it just struck a nerve with me. It is not just talking about the fact that in order to grow in faith and the spiritual life one must push into uncharted area but also I think it goes along with this class that to find oneself and deepen one's relationship with God and deepen their own faith may need that time away, that sacred journey. To walk, experience, take in the beauty of that God has given us. HIghly recommend the book as well!
