Defector's Manifesto, Ch. 9. Some nights I lie awake and wonder what my life could have been. Had the soldiers never come, had they never found the gun in the walls, what might I be doing right now? craigscunningham.com

Defector's Manifesto, Ch. 8. The river circles the ages. Outside my windows I see the water rising out of the ground, swelling towards us now. The reckoning is coming. craigscunningham.com

Defector's Manifesto, Ch. 4. To conquer a man by force is inconvenient; better that he comes on bended knee. craigscunningham.com

Defector's Manifesto, Ch. 2. We were formed to order the chaos we encounter, to build, to make something out of nothing and truthfully declare it is good. I believe God intentionally made man in His own image, placing the spark and order of creation in our hearts. Every individual carries that fire. Thus, our nature connects us to a story of eternity that will always supersede government systems, cultures, and the common expectations of how man ought to live. Man ought to live as if he were created by God, not as if he were created to serve the age in which he was born. craigscunningham.com

Defector's Manifesto, Ch. 1. None can have value outside of God’s image; all have value because of God’s image. The great conflict of our time can only be won by building the future upon this truth. All men and women bear the image of the Maker. Circumstances and decisions obscure our origins and draw us away from the ancient fire, but we bear the image until the end. Men do not need to be convinced or swayed. They simply need to be reminded of what is already true about them. craigscunningham.com
