Question a friend, perhaps he did not do it; but if he did anything so that he may do it no more.
A hasty quarrel kindles fire,
and urgent strife sheds blood.
If you blow on a spark, it will glow;
if you spit on it, it will be put out;
and both come out of your mouth

There are no books that qualify as great, Christian, and existentialist.  |

I like Kierkegaard's Fear and Trembling, though it does not really take a systematic approach.
