No other idea is so powerful in developing self-confidence as this simple belief when practiced. To practice it simply affirm "God is with me; God is helping me; God is guiding me." Spend several minutes each day visualizing his presence. Then practice believing that affirmation.”

Drawn from every end of the Earth, and dedicated to a simple concept, E pluribus unum: Out of many, one.”

In this way that ever-widening gap between academic Christians and the average pew-sitter made its first appearance.”
