He was also credited with having success in evangelizing the blue collar community.” His successor in Liverpool described him as a “man of granite with the heart of a child.” I own Ryle’s 2-volume… Read more

I just returned from Urbana, IL. Honored to be the keynote speaker at the Christian festival there. Someone took these shots while I was delivering my “Stairway to Heaven” message. One of the people helping with the conference encouraged me to wear the hat while speaking since all the musicians at the festival were wearing hats while they performed.
