I have the 2001 edition of the book in my library, and some of the quotes from this podcast (hint hint) may find their way into, and aligned with, the message this Sunday!

Here's a good quote from the podcast, probing the difference between our plans and the God-ordained steps:

The Bible says that the plans belong to man, but the steps are ordered from the Lord. We plan and we think, and then suddenly we read a paragraph. And you’re right. In my life, books don’t change me; paragraphs change me, or lines change me, because they just crack through old crusty ideas that were just half-baked and unbiblical, and they open you to reality. So absolutely, God has been very, very good to me. When I think about how I chose that school, how I chose that course, it’s utterly fortuitous. Just crazy random. I probably went to that school because there were palm trees in the catalog. Are you kidding me? And my life gets totally changed in this classroom. Oh my goodness! God is so merciful and so good to cover for our stupid priorities.
