Born this date in 1860 was Charles T Studd, cricketer turned Christian missionary. 10 quotes from him:
- Some wish to live within the sound of a chapel bell, I want to run a rescue shop within a yard of Hell.
- Christ wants not nibblers of the possible, but grabbers of the impossible.
- Funds are low again, hallelujah! That means God trusts us and is willing to leave His reputation in our hands.
- Had I cared for the comments of people, I should never have been a missionary.
- The light that shines farthest shines brightest nearest home.
- A good thing to have up your sleeve is a sanctified funny-bone.
- True religion is like the smallpox. If you get it, you give it to others and it spreads.
- It takes a real man to make a true confession.
- Only one life, ’twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last.
- Real Christians revel in desperate ventures for Christ, expecting from God great things and attempting the same with exhilaration.
Killing Me Softly
Sebastian Garrett is an assassin. It wasn’t his first choice of vocation, but nonetheless, he’s good at it, and can be relied upon to get the job done. He’s on top of his game.
Until he is contracted to kill Princess Helena of Galorvia. She is not just any princess. Sebastian doesn’t bargain on his intended victim being a super-heroine who gives as good as she gets. Only his own genetic variant power saves him from becoming the victim, instead of Helena.
Fate has another surprise in store. Sebastian was not expecting to fall in love with her.
