Quotes from his books, as collected by readers on Goodreads.
You know my name, not my story. You've heard what I've done, but not what I've been through.
Faith is why I'm here today and faith is why I made it through.
It's better to have a few faithful friends than numerous shallow friendships.
Look for the heart in a man before you look at what he has.
Instead of treating your child like how you were treated. Treat them with the same love and attention you wanted from your parents while growing up.
Faith doesn't get you around problems in life and relationships, it gets you through it.
If two people are meant for one another, that doesn't mean that they have to rush and be together right away. Real love takes time to grow, just like how it takes time to grow from children to adults.
Stop worrying about being that perfect person because no one is perfect. Put your focus on being that right person that will love, understand, and care for that other.
Faith is why I'm here today and faith is why I believe I can achieve something in my life.
Do you consider yourself a blessing or just another person?
The best foundation for relationships to grow, flourish, and succeed is a deep-rooted friendship.
Anger makes you smaller, while forgiveness forces you to grow beyond who you were.
It's risky most of the time, but its better to listen to your heart.
I live to inspire, not start the fire.
Strong relationships come from well-bonded friendships.
