- "The Gospel's view of power differs radically from that of the world's view. The powerful testimony of the death of Jesus on the cross shows to us, who would follow Him, a true lesson about the power of God and the power of eternal life. That power is a paradox because, in this powerless Savior, in his horrible death, stands the very center of God's power". -- p. 2.

- "What we say with our words is so much less important than what we mean with our lives. Only our lives give weight to our words" (p. 1). This book "has something to say specifically now, in the time after September 11 [2001] .... My own insight is that we cannot rebuild our lives simply by constructing bigger, better, and stronger buildings. We must begin by thinking in a more foundational way, a more radical way. We must begin by becoming grateful. However, although this book begins and ends in gratitude, it must go by the way of reflecting critically on why it seems so difficult to sustain gratitude as an all-encompassing attitude to life. The difficulty will defy our efforts to resolve it personally, for ingratitude is ingrained in our economic system and in the worldview that has shaped our imaginations for more than 200 years. We have been wasting away for want of gratitude for some time. Gratitude will not come easily here and now -- not, or at least not primarily, because we are morally or psychologically weak but because the predominant values of our culture are so subtle and all-pervasive" (pp. 3-4).
