“Writing a book about the Bible is like building a sandcastle in front of the Matterhorn.
The best you can hope to do is to catch the eye of those who are looking down instead
of up, or those who are so familiar with the skyline that they have stopped noticing
its peculiar beauty.”

–N.T. Wright, _The Last Word_ (New York: HarperCollins, 2005), ix.

I totally agree with the above statement…I think both of those groups are important
to reach. I want to write a book aimed at those people. Can I use the quote above(
with proper credit, of course) in my book?
