From the Back Cover

Thom has found a way to make an often difficult journey hopeful --- and even fun. If I Were They, I'd say . . .

Making mistakes doesn't make you a mistake.

Respect is not necessarily expressed through agreement.

God frequently communicates without full explanation.

Your purpose can remain clear, even when your path is not.

It is useless to be judgmental of judgmental people. And If I Were They, I'd ask . . .

Are you solving the problems you want to solve,

or the problems you believe you are supposed to solve?

Can you tell when you are using your intelligence to avoid learning?

Have you ever had the feeling that God was taking a nap?

"Sure, we know what THEY say. THEY say children are to be seen and not heard, the road to hell is paved with good intentions, pretty is as pretty does, and spare the rod, spoil the child. (It was Stan Laurel who said, 'You can lead a horse to water, but a pencil must be led.') What we don't know is this: WHO ARE THEY?! And . . . how can I apply to become a member of this 'Council of They'?" -from the Introduction
