A warm embrace when in despair.

and thoughtfulness most kind and rare. — Richelle E. Goodrich

Among religious writings the Bible is unique in its attitude to its great men. Even many Christian biographies puff up the men they describe. But the Bible exhibits the whole man, so much so that it is almost embarrassing at times.

Schaeffer
