Mark 8:36 (KJV) “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”
In the Forward to Mark Tabb’s book, Mission to Oz, Clay Crosse writes, “When I’m close to God, I feel at odds with this world in which I live. Yet, during those times when I have drifted away from Him, well, that’s when I think that this world is just peachy and believe that it can make me happy.” —Mission to Oz, p. 10
