The last sentence of my book Abide, which is a gospel-centered approach to the spiritual disciplines:
"So relax."

It's a rare gift to challenge me to obey and relax all at the same time, especially given my history of legalism. Your writings have managed to do both consistently, and I'm grateful for them.
