Excerpts from Larry Crabb's book, Inside Out:
"The richest love grows in the soil of an unbearable disappointment with life. When we realize life can't give us what we want, we can better give up our foolish demand that it do so and get on with the noble task of loving as we should. we will no longer need to demand protection from further disappointment. The deepest change will occur in the life of a bold realist who clings to God with a passion only his realistic appraisal of life can generate" (Crabb 2007:235).
"The more directly [one] faces the pain in [one's] life, the more [one] ache[s], and the more [one] ache[s], the more [one] beg[ins] to see God as [one's] one and only hope" (p. 349).
