“We tighten and enlarge
Various parts of our bodies;
How much thought do we give
To eternal truths and mysteries?
We talk about brand names
Expensive clothes and shoes;
What about the faithful feet
That spread the Good News?
Do our hearts, minds, and souls
Seek after the Creator?
Have His words and purpose
Affected our thoughts and behavior?”
– an excerpt from the book
