Is there anyone left in the public arena who has true integrity? Sometimes it's tempting to believe there isn't. But Chuck Colson knows better:

Seven months into my prison term, I was facing some family crises that were terrible. Al [Quie] called me and told me about a law that might allow him to serve out the rest of my sentence. Al said he was going to see President Ford the next day and ask him, if he, Al, could serve the rest of my prison sentence. I was speechless.

If a senior Congressman would lay his life down for one of most reviled men in the country, then I knew that Jesus had to be exactly who He says He is. That moment affirmed my faith like no other. Though Al never had to follow through—because a couple of days later I was released from prison—the lesson never left me.

We so desperately need examples like Al Quie. I so hope that you, your friends, and your family will read Riding into the Sunrise and get to know a man who has lived the most consistent life of integrity of anyone I’ve ever met.

Oh the power of friendship!

The Face of God

I searched the sky convinced that there I’d find
The hands that chiseled galaxies to stars,
And in the distant quest would meet the Mind
That gave the Earth its blue, its red to Mars.
But heaven harbored not the face Divine:
The telescopic lens inverted sight
And made the blackness of the darkness shine
Not there, but here, with blinding, holy light.
For in the hour of my greatest need
The hands, the voice, the face of God appeared
To lift me from despair with kindest deed
And comfort me from all that I had feared:
Not strangely as the prophecies portend,
But with familiar visage, as a Friend.
