Just one more paragraph from that book, definitely worth the read, in my opinion:
"During the Brezhnev era at the height of the Cold War, Billy Graham visited Russia and met with government and church leaders. Conservatives back home reproached him for treating the Russians with such courtesy and respect. He should have taken a more prophetic role, they said, by condemning the abuses of human rights and religious liberty. One of his critics accused him of setting the church back fifty years. Graham listened, lowered his head, and replied, 'I am deeply ashamed. I have been trying very heard to set the church back two thousand years.'"
By this all men will know that you are My disciples: If you love one another.

A vote for Billy Graham! I wonder sometimes what Jesus would think of our churches today. Where IS the real love?
Awesome quote, bro. Thanks for sharing.
That was great - wow!
