Four Excerpts from The Price of Forgetting
Selected reflections from four chapters
Chapter 1 — September 11, 2001
When Certainty Collapsed
“What we lost that morning was not only lives and buildings, but the illusion that history had finished with us. In the smoke and silence that followed, we promised ourselves we would never forget. But memory is fragile when comfort returns, and urgency fades faster than we expect.”
Chapter 4 — When Shock Replaces Repentance
The Moment That Should Have Changed Us
“Shock without repentance creates noise, not transformation. We reacted loudly, but reflected briefly. We grieved publicly, but corrected selectively. And when the pain subsided, the lessons were quietly set aside, waiting to be remembered only after the cost had grown higher.”
Chapter 8 — The Rebellion of the Heart
Why Decline Rarely Looks Like Defiance
“Rebellion does not begin with anger toward God, but with confidence without Him. The heart drifts not because it hates truth, but because it grows accustomed to living without its weight. What was once guarded becomes assumed, and what is assumed is eventually neglected.”
Chapter 12 — The Event We Will Not Recover From
We Are Our Own Worst Enemy
“The most devastating losses are not always sudden. They accumulate quietly, permission by permission, compromise by compromise. By the time we realize something sacred has been lost, we are often left remembering too late—and paying a price we once believed we could avoid.”
These excerpts reflect the central conviction of The Price of Forgetting:
that history does not simply warn us—it waits to see whether we listened.
More to come as we approach release in late January / early February 2026, available on Amazon in paperback, hardcover, and Kindle eBook.
