"Ever since I could understand, the gospel has meant everything to me. . . . It has been my very breath, my mantle of protection against temptation, my consolation in sorrow, my joy and glory throughout all my days, and my hope of eternal life. 'The kingdom of God or nothing' has been my motto" (in Keepers of the Flame, 49).
