Sam Knecht (pronounced like “connect”) lives in Fayetteville, Arkansas and uses words in his day job to teach, convince, and strategize. If you’re looking for the painter, the basketball player, the other basketball player, or the radiologist — you’re so close.
This is an online place to use words differently. The common thread of this site: words I want to either refer back to later or share with others. Welcome to a merry grab bag of:
- Quotes from Christian non-fiction books that help me love the Lord God with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength (for an ocean of helpful quotes in this same spirit, check out Tolle Lege).
- Quotes from novels, poems, prose, prayers, or short stories that arrest my attention towards the true, the good, and the beautiful.
- Collections of various original writing:
- Teaching & preaching notes
- Public prayers
- Poems
- Stories
- Reviews
- Rabbit-hole reflections
Why “S.W.F. Knecht“?
- Since I was a kid, when buying a new book I’ve always written “S.W.F. Knecht” on the inside cover. I wanted a site name that reminds me (and my friends) this is not Sam IRL. S.W.F. Knecht as a moniker feels appropriately bookish.
- J.R.R. Tolkien is one of two authors who first drew me into loving fiction. I’ll take any chance possible to honor his literary beauty.
- It sounds cool :-)
