T D Jakes and Billy Graham, both at the top of my list. Just discovered Jakes. I was with the author but the former drunk reference at the end was a little unkind but I guess he was trying to make a point.

TD Jakes is a modalist, not a Christian. The traditional word to describe him is heretic.

There is only one way to "stop" drinking on [your] 40th birtday +1 - to turn your life and your will over to the care of God . . .

But the author knows that this is not an unkind comment to a Christian who knows he has been saved by God's grace. Regardless of the author's personal beliefs, he understands that Christians believe that God sometimes calls the most unlikeliest of people--Paul, of course, being the prime example.

Who would have thought, when Dubya was drinking heavily, that he would go on to become president of the United States?

To be honest I know nothing of this author and therefore cannot comment on him, though I see some here say he is usually questionable at best. But, for most of what he is reporting on GWB and his faith he is on target because I am up to speed on that. I also am familiar with the ministrial reputations of TD Jakes and James Robinson, which are both very good. So, basically I am speaking of the content of the article, and was responding to the previous post, not commenting on Andrew Sullivan.
