The other guy, the 35 year old who won the 50m freestyle after winning in 2000 had a very similar story. Fame is a difficult master. Unless you have stability, unless you have a power greater than yourself it is hard, especially when you are young and don’t really understand the world and what it is to be “used.”

Saul to Paul, let’s not forget, in Acts 9.. One of the Bible’s heroes is Ananius, who trusted God enough to welcome Saul, the persecutor of Christians, into the Christian fellowship because God told him to.

I didn’t read anything about Christ. Hopefully this is the faith he found or he’s probably going to find himself in the same boat somewhere down the road.

This is the guy that was proudly dating a tranny a couple years ago?

Oh, for Heaven's sake. Where on earth do you get your information?

Michael Phelps is a fine man who's come through a terrible experience and is now stronger, more mature, and wants to help others who are going through what he did. I greatly admire him and wish him all the best.

The ‘tranny’ was born with both male and female organs( actually no testicles). Phelps new nothing so how could he proud? You must have some serious issues yourself to slander someone like that.
IBTZ.

Yeah, I was hoping he had found Jesus but was disappointed to see the name of Rick Warren included. Warren is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. I hope Phelps finds a better mentor or heck just reads the Bible for himself.

Remember the woman in Atlanta who was abducted by a serial killer who managed to convince the killer to turn himself in by telling him about this book? I haven’t read it bu it must have a meaningful message.

Don't waste your time reading it. Warren speaks at Muslim conferences and states that allah & God are the same. Any theology he has is corrupted.

A bit off base...but I would suggest that any Christian spend a year in synagogue, and thus truly live a fair amount of the history from Abraham to Jesus, who frequently cited The Law.
