I enjoyed the way DeNooyer wrote two timelines into this novel, weaving together multiple generations of one family's story between the 1950's and 2015. The themes in this book are heavy at times but meaningful, giving readers a lot to discuss--espec ...more

Quotes by Kendra Broekhuis (?)

“But what if, instead of staying inside my thick, introverted shell, I prayed for courage to step out and build relationships with our neighbors? What if, instead of making a to do list, I prayed for God to guide my daily activities? What if, instead of waiting for people to knock on our door, I intentionally looked for ways to show Christ love and kindness.”
― Kendra Broekhuis, Here Goes Nothing: An Introvert's Reckless Attempt to Love Her Neighbor

“Loving our neighbors is truly a reckless lifestyle. Scripture tells us to love but to it expect hatred in return, to give but to expect no repayment.”
― Kendra Broekhuis, Here Goes Nothing: An Introvert's Reckless Attempt to Love Her Neighbor

“But the fact that I allow my introverted personality to keep me from lending a helping hand because it requires human interaction is flawed. That’s the thing about the commandment love your neighbor. Those situations aren’t about me and my fears, they’re about my neighbor and his or her needs.”
