Words that "cut to the quick"

Ever read a book or heard a speaker that just nailed something straight into your heart that you knew you needed to hear/read?

Daniel and I are reading through Voddie Baucham, Jr.'s book "Family Driven Faith" right now... and WOW! I don't know where to begin in sharing this book.. there is too much to share.

"It all comes down to a simple question: Why are we here? Does our family exist to prepare children for the Major Leagues? If so, then baseball will be the center of our family's universe, and everything will bow to the whims and wishes of the baseball god. Does our family exist to produce socialites? If so, then our family must revolve around the social calendars of our overloaded teenagers and their hectic schedules. However, if our family exists to glorify and honor God and to lay a biblical foundation in the lives of our children, then we must not allow anything to interfere with our commitment to family worship, prayer, and Bible study." V. Baucham, Jr.

There is so much more to this book.... if you need your fire lit a little... pick it up at your bookstore!
