'Amazing Grace' is not a book of interviews or onetime snapshots. It's a memoir of a journey that took me into a place I had never been and took over two years of my life. I don't think the people in this book would have said the things to me that they did if they perceived me as a reporter. ~ Jonathan Kozol
Amazing Grace quotes by Jonathan Kozol
The tyranny of the living body.
Listen -- those cells are at it again.
Gossiping.
Her veins are singing.
Belting out gospel and disco. Amazing Grace.
And her tired mind
says hush. Enough is enough. ~ Eve Alexandra
Amazing Grace quotes by Eve Alexandra
Like a sudden thaw in the middle of winter, grace happens at unexpected moments. It stops us short, catches the breath, disarms. If we manipulate it, try to control it, somehow earn it, that would not be grace. Yet not everyone has tasted of that amazing grace, and not everyone believes in it. ~ Philip Yancey
Amazing Grace quotes by Philip Yancey
Surely the principles of Christianity lead to action as well as meditation. ~ William Wilberforce
Amazing Grace quotes by William Wilberforce
This shit is what would happen if the devil fell asleep in Santa's sleigh and had a wet dream while Rudolf licked his ass to the beat of a choir singing Amazing Grace. ~ Ashleyjo
Amazing Grace quotes by Ashleyjo
They like to take all this money from sin, build big universities to study in, sing Amazing Grace all the way to the Swiss banks. ~ Bob Dylan
Amazing Grace quotes by Bob Dylan
For once I thought I was dead; for once I thought I had lost everything, and for once I thought all was over for me, but I saw the amazing grace of God over me! ~ Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
Amazing Grace quotes by Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
Gather up your telegrams
Your faded pictures, best laid plans
Books and postcards, 45's
Every sunset in the sky
Carry with you maps and string, flashlights
Friends who make you sing
And stars to help you find your place
Music, hope and amazing grace
Maybe what we leave
Is nothing but a tangled little mystery
Maybe what we take
Is nothing that has ever had a name ~ Mary Chapin Carpenter
Amazing Grace quotes by Mary Chapin Carpenter
Jesus breaks what we bring to Him. All too often we come to the table with our best manners and a pose of impenetrable self-sufficiency. We're all surface, all role - polished and poised performers in the game of life. But Jesus is after what is within, and He exposes the insides - our inadequacies. At the table we're not permitted to be self-enclosed. We're not permitted to remain self-sufficient. We are taken into the crucifixion. We dramatize it as we eat the common food. The breaking of our pride and self-approval opens us up to new life, to new action. Everything on the table represents some kind of exchange of life, some sacrifice to our Host. If we come crusted over, hardened within ourselves in lies and poses, He breaks through and brings new life. 'A broken and contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise' (Psalm 51:17). We discover this breaking first in Jesus. Jesus was broken, His blood poured out. And now we discover it in ourselves. Then Jesus gives back what we brought to Him, who we are. But it is no longer what we brought. Who we are, this self that we offer to Him at the table, is changed into what God gives, what we sing of as Amazing Grace. [Living the Resurrection] ~ Eugene H. Peterson
Amazing Grace quotes by Eugene H. Peterson
Charlie whistled "Amazing Grace" as he drove. It was all I could do not to whip my head around and snap, Are you kidding me? Couldn't he pick something more appropriate, like "Shout at the Devil" or "Don't fear the Reaper"? Some people had no sense of the proper music for a kidnapping. ~ Jeaniene Frost
Amazing Grace quotes by Jeaniene Frost
Very simply, God had forgiven her...Amazing grace was something she knew personally. The only right response for the rest of her life was to extend that grace to others, to forgive the way she had been forgiven. ~ Karen Kingsbury
Amazing Grace quotes by Karen Kingsbury
Take a step in the right direction and you will find your smile again. It will be there beaming by the light of God's amazing grace. ~ Calvin W. Allison
Amazing Grace quotes by Calvin W. Allison
We've lost the wow of God because we've lost the woe of God. His perfect holiness helps us truly appreciate His amazing grace. ~ Mark Batterson
Amazing Grace quotes by Mark Batterson
The power of the Bible is most evident in its ability to change lives. It can transform a wealthy Italian playboy into a saint (Saint Francis of Assisi). By its amazing grace, it can transform a debauching, murderous slave trader into a humble abolitionist (John Newton). It can transfigure prostitutes into women of virtue, cowards into rocks of the church, and the proud into the meek. ~ Anonymous
Amazing Grace quotes by Anonymous
Wherever you are, whatever circumstance you are facing, know that you are not alone in your struggles. God yearns to help you through this journey. Always trust in His truth, always lean on His understanding, and always submit to Him and He will make your paths straight. God is your source of power and strength. He is the only one who is capable of fulfilling you completely. Unveil yourself to Him and He will transform you. He will also be your help so that you can unveil yourself to your husband. May you continually walk in His amazing grace, covered in a blanket of white. ~ Jennifer Smith
Amazing Grace quotes by Jennifer Smith
I feel like it's compulsory to play "Amazing Grace" during a Christian funeral. It's the only way to make sure everyone leaves sobbing like a baby. ~ Penny Reid
Amazing Grace quotes by Penny Reid
You are worthy! Let those words sink deep into your heart. You are worthy. Life can get overwhelming for us, as our busy schedules keep us on our toes. Sometimes we forget that we need to intentionally slow down, take a deep breath, and remind ourselves of our purpose, the very foundation of why we do what we do. When we neglect to quiet our souls and rest in God's amazing grace, we miss out on the intimate opportunities where God assures us of our worthiness, clarifies our purpose, and strengthens us to endure each day. ~ Jennifer Smith
Amazing Grace quotes by Jennifer Smith
Amazing grace; blessed life. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Amazing Grace quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Writing should be an adventure, shrouded in mystery and uncertainty, blessed with amazing grace. In theory, of course ~ Syd Field
Amazing Grace quotes by Syd Field
Sabbath is the time set aside to do nothing so that we can receive everything, to set aside our anxious attempts to make ourselves useful, to set aside our tense restlessness, to set aside our media-satiated boredom. Sabbath is the time to receive silence and let it deepen into gratitude, to receive quiet into which forgotten faces and voices unobtrusively make themselves present, to receive the days of the just completed week and absorb the wonder and miracle still reverberating from each one, to receive our Lord's amazing grace. ~ Eugene H. Peterson
Amazing Grace quotes by Eugene H. Peterson
The gospel of Christ is a glorious gospel of grace wherein the power of God is available to you in whatever area of your life you are willing to believe for. Now that's AMAZING GRACE! If you're only willing to believe for being saved from hell, then be it unto you according to your faith. But know this, the Lord wants you to experience so much more. Take a look at Psalm 103, where the psalmist enumerates some of the glorious benefits of the child of God. The psalmist advises us to " ... forget not all His benefits". ~ Brian Williams
Amazing Grace quotes by Brian Williams
Grace means undeserved kindness. It is the gift of God to man the moment he sees he is unworthy of God's favor. ~ Dwight L. Moody
Amazing Grace quotes by Dwight L. Moody
Someone should sing, Silver thinks, and then someone does-a low, somewhat hoarse man's voice singing "Amazing Grace" quietly but with great sincerity. Ruben's eyes grow wide, and almost in the same instant that it occurs to Silver that "Amazing Grace" is not sung at Jewish funerals, he recognizes the singing voice as his own.
But Mrs. Zeiring is looking at him, not with anger or surprise, but a strange half-smile, and he decides that the only thing worse than spontaneously breaking into a Christian hymn at a Jewish funeral while dressed for a wedding would be to not finish it. So he does ... ~ Jonathan Tropper
Amazing Grace quotes by Jonathan Tropper
I'm not perfect. And who knows how many times I've fallen short. We all fall short. That's the amazing thing about the grace of God. ~ Tim Tebow
Amazing Grace quotes by Tim Tebow
Dear God

Please take away my pain and despair of yesterday and any unpleasant memories and replace them with Your glorious promise of new hope. Show me a fresh HS-inspired way of relating to negative things that have happened. I ask You for the mind of Christ so I can discern Your voice from the voice of my past. I pray that former rejection and deep hurts will not color what I see and hear now.

Help me to see all the choices I have ahead of me that can alter the direction of my life. I ask You to empower me to let go of the painful events and heartaches that would keep me bound. Thank You for Your forgiveness that You have offered to me at such a great price. Pour it into my heart so I can relinquish bitterness hurts and disappointments that have no place in my life. Please set me free to forgive those who have sinned against me and caused me pain and also myself. Open my heart to receive Your complete forgiveness and amazing grace. You have promised to bind up my wounds Psa 147:3 and restore my soul Psa 23:3 .

Help me to relinquish my past surrender to You my present and move to the future You have prepared for me. I ask You to come into my heart and make me who You would have me to be so that I might do Your will here on earth. I thank You Lord for all that's happened in my past and for all I have become through those experiences. I pray You will begin to gloriously renew my present. ~ Sue Augustine
Amazing Grace quotes by Sue Augustine
No matter how loud you shout, you will not drown out the voice of the people! ~ William Wilberforce
Amazing Grace quotes by William Wilberforce
Jesus comes not for the super-spiritual but for the wobbly and the weak-kneed who know they don't have it all together, and who are not too proud to accept the handout of amazing grace. ~ Brennan Manning
Amazing Grace quotes by Brennan Manning
If there are amazing graces on this earth, I believe that they are these good children sent to us by God and not yet soiled by the knowledge that their nation does not love them. ~ Jonathan Kozol
Amazing Grace quotes by Jonathan Kozol
That is the heavenly Father's deepest impulse toward us. You are the apple of His eye. And anyone who messes with you messes with Him. His protective instincts are most poignantly seen at the cross - the place where unconditional love and omnipotent power for the amalgam called amazing grace. That's where the Creator stepped between every fallen sinner and the fallen angel, Satan. That's where the Advocate took His stand against the Accuser of the brethren. The Sinless Son of God took the fall for us.

The cross is God's way of saying, "You are worth dying for. ~ Mark Batterson
Amazing Grace quotes by Mark Batterson
God is the comic shepherd who gets more of a kick out of that one lost sheep once he finds it again than out of the ninety and nine who had the good sense not to get lost in the first place. God is the eccentric host who, when the country-club crowd all turned out to have other things more important to do than come live it up with him, goes out into the skid rows and soup kitchens and charity wards and brings home a freak show. The man with no legs who sells shoelaces at the corner. The old woman in the moth-eaten fur coat who makes her daily rounds of the garbage cans. The old wino with his pint in a brown paper bag. The pusher, the whore, the village idiot who stands at the blinker light waving his hand as the cars go by. They are seated at the damask-laid table in the great hall. The candles are all lit and the champagne glasses filled. At a sign from the host, the musicians in their gallery strike up Amazing Grace. ~ Frederick Buechner
Amazing Grace quotes by Frederick Buechner
There's no end to amazing grace. ~ Crowder
Amazing Grace quotes by Crowder
That's right I never hold my tongue for saving face
Even the mic feedback will humm "Amazing Grace" ~ Mac Lethal
Amazing Grace quotes by Mac Lethal
The Good News means we can stop lying to ourselves. The sweet sound of amazing grace saves us from the necessity of self-deception. It keeps us from denying that though Christ was victorious, the battle with lust, greed, and pride still rages within us. ~ Brennan Manning
Amazing Grace quotes by Brennan Manning
Carry with you maps and string, flashlights, friends who make you sing, and stars to help you find your place, music, hope, and amazing grace. ~ Mary Chapin Carpenter
Amazing Grace quotes by Mary Chapin Carpenter
Somewhere between raising hell and amazing grace, Lord I know just how they feel. ~ Hank Williams, Jr.
Amazing Grace quotes by Hank Williams, Jr.
'Savage Inequalities' was about school finance, and 'Amazing Grace' primarily dealt with medical and social injustices in New York. But with 'Ordinary Resurrections,' I had no predetermined agenda. When I met with the children, I was not in pursuit of any line of thinking. In our conversations, I let them lead me where they wanted to go. ~ Jonathan Kozol
Amazing Grace quotes by Jonathan Kozol
When you hear Doc Watson singing Amazing Grace, something else enters the room. ~ Ben Harper
Amazing Grace quotes by Ben Harper
Amazing grace how sweet thuh sound That saved a wretch like me; I once was lost but now I'm found, Was blind, but now I see. A-men." Jem ~ Harper Lee
Amazing Grace quotes by Harper Lee
The reason to forgive ourselves is not because we feel like it or because we want to see ourselves as blameless but because we limit what we can receive from God when we hold on to our past. He wants to do so much more than we could ever imagine. Forgiving yourself starts with believing in God's incredible love for you and accepting His amazing grace and mercy. If God Almighty can forgive us who are we to hold on to what He has not only forgiven but forgotten ~ Sue Augustine
Amazing Grace quotes by Sue Augustine
The author of the hymn 'Amazing Grace', John Newton, who once was a slave ship captain, and who became a Christian preacher and an enemy of the slave trade, once said: 'I have reason to praise [God] for my trials, for, most probably, I should have been ruined without them.' The author of The Gulag Archipelago , Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, who suffered for twenty years in the hellish prison camps he describes in that book, wrote: 'Bless you prison, bless you for being in my life. For there, lying upon the rotting prison straw, I came to realize that the object of life is not prosperity as we are made to believe, but the maturity of the human soul.' This does not mean that Newton would have chosen to go through his trials, or that Solzhenitsyn in any way enjoyed the terrible suffering of his imprisonment. But it means that in retrospect they can see that God used those difficulties to bless them in the long run. ~ Eric Metaxas
Amazing Grace quotes by Eric Metaxas
Why do you get to act all crazy over a guy and I don't?" Anna asked.
"You have to earn the crazy," Grace said. "You're not old enough yet. ~ Jill Shalvis
Amazing Grace quotes by Jill Shalvis
To my surprise, he laughed softly, pressing his hand to his head and tilting it back. My eyes fixed on the strong line of his jaw, where there was a small scar just below his right cheek. 'Priyanka was right. I'm an idiot. You, on the other hand, are amazing. ~ Alexandra Bracken
Amazing Grace quotes by Alexandra Bracken
You will breathe throughout your life, every moment of it, but an opportunity like this comes once in a lifetime, and not even to everyone. Go for it! ~ K. Hari Kumar
Amazing Grace quotes by K. Hari Kumar
The ingenerating of a principle of grace in the soul seems in Scripture to be compared to the conceiving of Christ in the womb ... And the conception of Christ in the womb of the blessed virgin by the power of the Holy Ghost, seems to be a designed resemblance of the conception of Christ in the soul of a believer by the power of the same Holy Ghost. ~ Jonathan Edwards
Amazing Grace quotes by Jonathan Edwards
I would have liked to personally have prosecuted Scott Peterson. ~ Nancy Grace
Amazing Grace quotes by Nancy Grace
I am gradually learning that the call to gratitude asks us to say, "Everything is grace." As long as we remain resentful about things we wish had not happened, about relationships that we wish had turned out differently, mistakes we wish we had not made, part of our heart remains isolated, unable to bear fruit in the new life ahead of us. It is a way we hold part of ourselves apart from God. ~ Henri J.M. Nouwen
Amazing Grace quotes by Henri J.M. Nouwen
I think we make a common mistake of all wanting to look younger, and I think there is nothing more attractive, charming and endearing than when you meet a woman and you think she looks amazing for her age rather than 20 years younger because of this, that and everything else. ~ Louise Nurding
Amazing Grace quotes by Louise Nurding
And yet
it is not beauty that inspires the deepest passion. Beauty without grace is the hook without the bait. Beauty, without expression, tires. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Amazing Grace quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Then don't marry me to change your name. Marry me because there will never be another man in this world who loves you as much as I do. You're my best friend, my missing piece, and the only person who can make my world amazing just by being in it. Marry me because I promise you a lifetime of love and laughter and happiness. ~ R.J. Prescott
Amazing Grace quotes by R.J. Prescott
Instead of wanting to be better than other people, let's channel that energy to be better than we were yesterday and then again to be the best we can be tomorrow. ~ Grace Gealey
Amazing Grace quotes by Grace Gealey
God does not give his joy to us for ourselves alone, and if we could possess him for ourselves alone we would not possess him at all. Any joy that does not overflow from our souls and help other men to rejoice in God does not come to us form God. (But do not think that you have to see how it overflows into the souls of others. In the economy of his grace, you may be sharing his gifts with someone you will never know until you get to heaven.) ~ Thomas Merton
Amazing Grace quotes by Thomas Merton
The Produce Gem grins from half-way down the chip aisle. "And I thought the cucumber choosing was detailed."
Cash.
He was watching.
He saw me breaking it down.
He saw my invisible bad summer-time fashion choices. ~ Pella Grace
Amazing Grace quotes by Pella Grace
But hospitality must be for service, and not for show, or it pulls down the host. The brave soul rates itself too high to value itself by the splendor of its table and draperies. It gives what it hath, and all it hath, but its own majesty can lend a better grace to bannocks and fair water than belong to city feasts. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Amazing Grace quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
All of my lower-middle-class Boston issues rose to the surface. I don't like it when bratty, privileged old white guys speak to me like I am their mouthy niece. I got that amazing feeling you get when you know you are going to lose it in the best, most self-righteous way. I just leaned back and yelled, "FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YOU." Then I chased him as he tried to get away from me. ~ Amy Poehler
Amazing Grace quotes by Amy Poehler
We are much more than pretty... we are wonderfully made. We are much more than likable... we are deeply loved. We are much more than ok... we are the daughters of the King. ~ Holley Gerth
Amazing Grace quotes by Holley Gerth
Well, you have children so you know: little children little troubles, big children, big troubles - it's a saying in Yiddish. Maybe the Chinese said it too. ~ Grace Paley
Amazing Grace quotes by Grace Paley
I know she's weird. Her friends know she's weird. And we all accept it because she's weird, but also amazing. ~ Shelly Laurenston
Amazing Grace quotes by Shelly Laurenston
All those years I'd been coming here, I missed so many amazing opportunities! I could have been dining at Yats, or ~ Chris Meadows
Amazing Grace quotes by Chris Meadows
Every Christian family ought to be as it were a little church, consecrated to Christ, and wholly influenced and governed by his rules. And family education and order are some of the chief of the means of grace. If these fail, all other means are like to prove ineffectual. If these are duly maintained, all the means of grace will be like to prosper and be successful. ~ Jonathan Edwards
Amazing Grace quotes by Jonathan Edwards
That's the best thing about being an actor. If you're in a baseball movie, you walk away knowing way more about baseball, or if you're in a sci-fi film, you learn way more about Comic-Con, and so I loved all that. ~ Topher Grace
Amazing Grace quotes by Topher Grace
What you do in the Lord is not in vain. You are not oiling the wheels of a machine that's about to roll over a cliff. You are not restoring a great painting that's shortly going to be thrown on the fire. You are not planting rosed in a garden that's about to be dug up for a building site. You are -- strange though it may seem, almost as hard to believe as the resurrection itself -- accomplishing something that will become in due course part of God's new world. Every act of love, gratitude, and kindness; every work of art or music inspired by the love of God and delight in the beauty of his creation; every minute spent teaching a severely handicapped child to read or walk; every act of care and nurture, of comfort and support, for one's fellow human beings and for that matter one's fellow nonhuman creatures; and of course every prayer, all Spirit-led teaching, every deed that spreads the gospel, builds up the church, embraces and embodies holiness rather than corruption, and make the name of Jesus honored in the world -- all of this will find its way, through the resurrecting power of God, into the new creation that God will one day make. ~ N.T. Wright
Amazing Grace quotes by N.T. Wright
Each of us is accountable to God for our personal holiness. Humbling yourself by letting others into your life and allowing them to help you and hold you accountable will release the sanctifying, transforming grace of God in your life. ~ Nancy Leigh DeMoss
Amazing Grace quotes by Nancy Leigh DeMoss
WARRIORS BY DAY, LOVERS BY NIGHT, PROFESSIONALS BY CHOICE, AND MARINES BY THE GRACE OF GOD. ~ U.S. Marine Corps
Amazing Grace quotes by U.S. Marine Corps
Sometimes things are nothing on paper, but a genius director turns it into something amazing. ~ Douglas Booth
Amazing Grace quotes by Douglas Booth
At one point when I was very young, when I was first starting out, I thought, 'Well, one day I'll be able to put all the music away and become a real comedian.' But then I realized there are amazing musical comedians out there, that musical comedy is probably something I'll always want to pursue. ~ Bo Burnham
Amazing Grace quotes by Bo Burnham
Like all great documentaries, The Act of Killing demands another way of looking at reality. It starts as a dreamscape, an attempt to allow the perpetrators to reenact what they did, and then something truly amazing happens. The dream dissolves into nightmare and then into bitter reality. An amazing and impressive film. ~ Errol Morris
Amazing Grace quotes by Errol Morris
Art is what gets communicated at a live show, which is why live shows are so amazing. To communicate in a different way is a mixed message. It devalues everything. ~ Alex Scally
Amazing Grace quotes by Alex Scally
It's amazing what a healing effect horses can have on kids, particularly troubled kids, that might bridge the gap that a well-intended human just can't do. ~ Buck Brannaman
Amazing Grace quotes by Buck Brannaman
Finally and essentially: I not only never could have, but never would have, written this book without the conversations with - and the kindness, grace, empathy, forgiveness, and wisdom of - Jared Hohlt, my first and favorite reader, secret keeper, and North Star. His beloved friendship is the greatest gift of my adulthood. ~ Hanya Yanagihara
Amazing Grace quotes by Hanya Yanagihara
So I won an Oscar. It's amazing. I've got that for the rest of my life for a performance I am proud of. It nearly killed me. I am really proud of the film. That's it, moving on. ~ Kate Winslet
Amazing Grace quotes by Kate Winslet
Never underestimate the grace of bouncing back from a fallen heart. ~ Angelica Hopes
Amazing Grace quotes by Angelica Hopes
Grace frees you to be honest about what you've always known to be true about yourself: that you're weaker & more afraid than you want to be. ~ Tullian Tchividjian
Amazing Grace quotes by Tullian Tchividjian
Since sin is the multifaced distortion of humans in their relations with God, self, others, and the world, and since cracked Eikons create systemic injustice, inherent to the atoning work of God os restorative justice. God's redemptive intent is to restore and rehabilitate humans in their relationship with God, self, others, and the world, and when that happens justice is present and established. The followers of Jesus both proclaim and embody atoning justice by fighting injustice and establishing just that kind of justice. Their forward guard is surrounded with the banner of grace and forgiveness. ~ Scot McKnight
Amazing Grace quotes by Scot McKnight
Everything that isn't gospel is law. Let us say it again: Everything that isn't gospel is law. Every way we try to make our kids good that isn't rooted in the good news of the life, death, ressurection, and assension of Jesus Christ is damnable, crushing, despair-breeding, Pharisee-producing law. We won't get the results we want from the law. We'll get either shallow self-righteousness or blazing rebellion or both (frequently from the same kid on the same day!). We'll get moralistic kids who are cold and hypocritical and who look down on others (and could easily become Mormons), or you'll get teens who are rebellious and self-indulgent and who can't wait to get out of the house. We have to remember that in the life of our unregenerate children, the law is given for one reason only: to crush their self-confidence and drive them to Christ. ~ Elyse M. Fitzpatrick
Amazing Grace quotes by Elyse M. Fitzpatrick
