“Jesus Hates Dead Religion” is Now Available!
So many friends have asked for the text of my speech at the National Prayer Breakfast that Thomas Nelson decided to publish it — along with photos, my copious annotations of the speech itself (who is Ruth Buzzi?), and a 10,000-word essay in which I tell the full (and wacky) behind-the-scenes story of how I was invited, how I came to write the speech, and what it felt like to be there with the President and First Lady and Vice-President (and how my Nancy Pelosi joke backfired).

Rest in Peace, dear friend
I have just learned that my friend and hero, Chuck Colson, has died. He was surrounded by his family as he went home to be with Jesus at 3:12 p.m. this afternoon. For the World magazine obituary, click here. And for a link to the speech he was giving just three weeks ago yesterday click here. It was his last public appearance. It was during this speech that Chuck fell ill and was soon thereafter taken to the hospital. Rest in peace, dear friend.
Minnesota Public Radio Interview

My time in the Twin Cities was simply extraordinary. 2,000 people came out to hear me last night at the Faith & Life series run by my new friend, Pastor Tim Westermeyer in Plymouth. Bonhoeffer’s life is touching so many. One woman (helmet in hand) told me she rode her motorcycle nine (sic) hours from Winnipeg to hear about him! Soli Deo Gloria!
