Book Quotes

“Have you hidden who you really are from those around you? Have you hidden how you are changing or aging from those around you? Have you hidden your needs and then become angry because they were not being met? “I hid myself.” You can’t have genuine friendships if you hide your true self. If you hide, then your friends will love what you do and not who you are! Suppose that for some reason you can no longer “do what you do.” Does anyone love you just because you are you? Have you revealed the “real you” to anyone else? True friendship and intimacy are achieved when you feel so comfortable around others that you can be yourself. Stop hiding yourself. If you don’t, you may lose your true self and become the lie you pretend to be!”

― T.D. Jakes

“A father is an image of a young man’s destiny, a living testimony of what time may bring to pass.”

― T.D. Jakes

“for God loves to anoint misfits to fulfill His divine purpose and destiny!”

― T.D. Jakes

“We claim we are not emotional, yet we are so sensitive that a vicious word from a cruel woman can leave the most manly of us impotent! A cutting statement can undermine the strength, vigor, and vitality of even the strongest of men. Most women greatly underestimate the power of their words to magnify or crush their husbands’ strength.”

― T.D. Jakes

“Can the wounded heal the hurting?”

― T.D. Jakes

“Somewhere deep within the tormented man there is a tormented child who feels doomed to torment others!”

― T.D. Jakes

“Behind every dysfunction you will find dishonor, disloyalty, or at least disorder.”

― T.D. Jakes

“Lazarus was beyond sleep; he was dead! Jesus called him “friend” anyway. Some people only call you “friend” as long as they can use you or benefit from your existence.”

― T.D. Jakes

“Samson entertained Delilah, and she infiltrated his heart and took his secrets. Avoid entertaining thoughts that will destroy your peace.”

― T.D. Jakes

“Dad is our first definition of masculinity.”

― T.D. Jakes

“His absence leaves us desperately looking for someone else to “fill in the blank.” If the church doesn’t do it, the gay community will. If the church doesn’t do it, the gangs and drug lords will. If the church doesn’t do it, the pornographers will. Empty sons will always look for someone to fill in the blank left by the father who isn’t there.”

― T.D. Jakes

“Even the most voluptuous of fast-paced and lace-clad women cannot console the anguish of masculine tears blocked and cries muffled. Broken men try to mask their hurts behind empty emblems of success, but hidden behind those frail facades are screaming hearts bound in a forced silence.”

― T.D. Jakes
