Join The Underlines // The Best Of What I Read
A batch of the best highlights from what Joshua's read, .
It seems we can’t think our way to holiness. Why is that? Is it because you forgot something? Is there some other piece of knowledge you still need to acquire? Is it because you’re not thinking hard enough?

The Pursuing God
Joshua Ryan Butler
Ever since returning from China, I’ve had an abiding interest in asking this question: “How is it that the West can be re-evangelized?”4 One of the reasons I’m so compelled by the life of habit is that I see habits as a way of light in an age of darkness. Cultivating a life of transcendent habits means that our ordinary ways of living should stand out in our culture, dancing like candles on a dark mantle. As Madeleine L’Engle once wrote, “We draw people to Christ not by loudly discrediting what they believe . . . but by showing them a light that is so lovely that they want with all their hearts to know the source of it.”5
