"I believe the greatest hindrance to our having real revelation of Christ is living on what others have told us about Him, instead of pursuing personal revelation of Him. Most of us base our thoughts and ideas of God on what our parents, siblings, friends, pastors, youth leaders, or Sunday school teachers said about Him, instead of pursuing personal revelation of Him." pg. 21
"To know Christ is to love Christ. We are cold in our affections, our sacrifices and our devotion because we lack the true revelation of Christ. When Jesus is truly revealed to us, we are awakened to love-love that causes us to forsake all the fleeting pleasures of this temporal age and throw ourselves into eternal things, into the age to come."pg. 24
