From Disaster to Triumph

This month marks the 20th anniversary of the beginning of Eternal Perspective Ministries, the nonprofit Christian ministry started by best-selling author Randy Alcorn. Except Randy wasn't a best-selling author then. He was a pastor, intent on shepherding his flock and having his hands way too full with that job to think about writing as a career or pursuing pro-life activism or anything else.

So what happened to change all of that? Randy was the target of two viscous lawsuits brought by an abortion clinic. And just how God turned the evil intentions of that abortionist into the remarkable spiritual triumphs represented by Eternal Perspective Ministries and the millions blessed by Randy's books are quickly reviewed by Randy in these two blog posts: Part One and Part Two.

Go ahead, get an inspirational start to your weekend by reading them. You'll be glad you did.
