Book excerpt: This book is chock full of religious quotations that are intended to inspire, convict, and challenge as well as to comfort, encourage, and console the reader. Whether you read these quotations casually or study them diligently, may they provoke insightful thought. As a bonus, the abbreviated life stories of selected authors have been included in the appendix. Doris Curtis, a retired English teacher and now in her 80's, first developed a keen interest in laconic quotations in the 1960's when she began posting them on the blackboard of her classroom. In the 1980's she began scribbling quotations down in her journals and daily planners. For many years her friends suggested that she compile her quotations in a book. However, it wasn't until April 2010, that she and her son Bryan (co-author) began the arduous task of compiling the quotations as well as identifying the source of each quotation. During the compilation exercise Bryan also found additional insightful quotations which have been included as well. This is Doris' first book. Bryan has also authored the book, "Combating Bible Illiteracy."
