What does this author mean by “penultimate non-quitter?” Penultimate means second to the last. Does this, then, mean second-to-the-last non-quitter? I’m perplexed, flummoxed, confounded.............
well, the ultimate model of anything good is always Christ — so I was thinking of using “penultimate” as a way of “a level right underneath ultimate” —but maybe “ultimate” would have been more correct and appropriate. :)
Again:
She did not quit on her baby. She did not quit on her family, and above all, she did not quit on her GOD. She did not quit her faith for the sake of convenience or self-preservation, but prepared her heart for sacrifice and the unknown.
