Preaching In The First Person
So much of what we hear about politicians and world leaders causes us to question whether there are any who are guided by religious convictions. I was delighted to read Dag Hammarskjold's book Markings and to find revealed there a man whose exceptional faith and piety guided and strengthened him as he gave leadership to the United Nations. Many people of my generation would know of him as a world leader, but would be unacquainted with him as a man of Christian convictions. They would be encouraged to hear of his struggle for faith and his search for divine guidance.
