Was Israel a member of their church? Gannaway asked. No, Heidi said. Israel doesn’t believe in God. His atheism was a great tragedy of her life. Had anything unusual happened? Gannaway asked. Actually, a few things, Heidi said. She had heard that at least one of Israel’s sisters had begged him to accept the Lord, and Israel, normally so contemptuous of such talk, instead became very emotional. He wept, Heidi said. He told his sister, “You don’t know the things that I have done.”
