Quotes by Gilbert Morris

No, I dont believe it, Joseph said. From listening to my father and grandfather talk about El Shaddai, I think hes different from the gods of Egypt. I think that none of us could ever be good enough for God. I think of Him as being so good that a human cant even enter His presence. A man would die if he did. I think Gods merciful, Rashidi. I think he forgives us because he loves us, just as we forgive our children because we love them. Rashidis eyes brightened. A God that loves people! Now theres a new thought!

I make a joke of it, but... but Im afraid of death. He straightened up and turned to look into Josephs eyes. Joseph saw the fear there and was shocked by the intensity of it. Are you afraid to die, Joseph? Joseph considered for a moment, then shook his head. Im not afraid to now, but then Im not dying now. When I come to that moment, I will probably be... whats the right word? Maybe frightened in a way that youre frightened when an experience lies before you youve never had. No more than that? I hope not.
