| Dr. Kendall, your book, God Meant It for Good, I have the copy that was my original copy. | |
| And you can see it's pretty beat up, but this is a prison-tested theology. | |
| But it's a prison, this book went through almost all the years of the prison, almost all the seven prisons, maybe six of the seven prisons that I was in. | |
| This book went with me. | |
| This book is the most amazing book. | |
| And you said somewhere, I don't know if it was in this book or one of your other books I read it, that you were going through a hard time when you wrote this book, which I didn't realize at the time I'm reading it, that you yourself had gone through some terrible times. | |
| That book followed the darkest hour that Louise and I had ever, ever gone through. | |
| I can never tell publicly or privately what it was. | |
| Only Louise knows. | |
| An old friend from Romania, his name is Joseph Tsone, I think he now lives in Oregon, happened to be in London. | |
| And because I knew he wouldn't tell anybody, I decided to tell Joseph Tzone what they did. | |
| It was the darkest hour Louise and I ever went through. | |
| The outlook was bleak. | |
| It was horrible. | |
| And I was angry. | |
| I was bitter. | |
| And I decided I'd tell Joseph, one person, what happened. | |
| Now, if I'm honest, I thought he'd put his arm around me and say, R.T., you ought to be angry. | |
| Get it out of your system. | |
| I think that's what I was hoping for. | |
| He looked at me and said, anything more? | |
| I said, no, that's it. | |
| I wasn't prepared for what followed. | |
| If I could narrow 25 years in London down to 15 minutes, they would turn out to be my finest hour when Joseph Tson looked at me and said, R.T., you must totally forgive them. | |
| Until you totally forgive them, you will be in chains. | |
