No man can be prepared for any deep and vital work in the world who has not gone through the school of the devil. You cannot be taught to preach by reading books, however good and eloquent.
You overshoot my life; I must hear something in your tone and accents that tell me that
you too have been in the pit, have been dragged through the lake of fire, and have understood what it is to be almost – gone.
Joseph Parker (1830-1902)
