Quotes 

• Karin Persson : It started last spring. Jonas read about China in the papers. The article said the Chinese people were brought up on hate and that it's only a matter of time before China has atom bombs. They have nothing to lose. That's what they wrote. It doesn't worry me all that much. Maybe I'm just short on imagination. But Jonas can't stop thinking about it and so we discuss it constantly, though I can't help him much. Not with three kids and one on the way.

  Tomas Ericsson, Pastor : Right. Everyone feels this dread to some extent. We must trust God.

• Tomas Ericsson, Pastor : We live our simple daily lives and atrocities shatter the security of the world. It's so overwhelming and God seems so very remote.

  Karin Persson : That's right.

  Tomas Ericsson, Pastor : I feel so helpless. I don't know what to say.
