Here's an excerpt that caught my attention:

"Only in a world where faith is difficult can faith exist. I don't have faith in two plus two equals for or in the noonday sun. Those are beyond question. But Scripture descrbes God as a hidden God. You have to make an effort of faith to find him. There are clues you can follow"
"And if that wern't so, if there were something more or less than clues, it's difficult for me to understand how we could really be free to make a choice about him. If we had absolute proof instead of clues, then you could no more deny God that you could deny the sun. If we had no evidence at all, you could never get there. God gives us just enough evidence so that those who want him can have him. Those who want to follow the clues will."
"The Bible says, 'Seek and you shall find.' It doesn't say everybody will find him; it doesn't say nobody will find him. Some will find. Who? Those who seek. Those whose hearts are set on finding him and who follow the clues."
