400-408 – Glenn Sunshine, Professor of History at Central Connecticut State University (ccsu.edu), comes with high praise and a personal recommendation to me from Chuck Colson. Glenn teaches in Chuck's Centurion program. Glenn's book, Why You Think the Way You Do: The Story of Western Worldviews from Rome to Home, traces the development of Western civilization from the Roman Empire to postmodernism – and he argues that as we lose the Judeo-Christian foundation of the West, we're embracing the pagan worldview, and therefore the practices, of the ancient Roman empire. Today we talk about his article coming out on Monday entitled "The Postmodern Presidency" at the Colson Center (colsoncenter.org).

428-437 – Marty Angelo, is a full-time minister to prisoners, substance abusers and troubled celebrities and his book is entitled Once Life Matters: A New Beginning and his latest is Vision of New Jerusalem: Now! (marty@martyangelo.com, martyangelo.com).
He worked in the entertainment business from 1965 to 1980 as a television producer, record promoter, disk jockey, restaurant/nightclub owner and personal manager for rock 'n' roll bands. Though at times Angelo thought he achieved success, internally he always felt emptiness in his heart, sensing his life had neither real meaning nor true purpose. Nothing ever seemed to matter to him. Therefore, he lived an out-of-control sin-riddled lifestyle. He was arrested in 1980 for two counts of possession of cocaine. Through this life-shattering event he experienced a "new beginning," a dramatic and electrifying conversion to Christianity. This miracle happened in 1981 prior to serving two-and-a-half years in a federal prison. God forgave Marty's sins, blessed him with eternal life and filled the void in Marty's heart with His Holy Spirit. His life finally began to matter and it took on a new meaning as he discovered God's true plan and purpose.

458-508 – Hormoz Shariat, "the Billy Graham of Iran," he is the founder of Iran Alive Ministries (iranaliveministries.org) he founded the Iranian Christian Church in 1987 which has grown to five churches and over 400 members – all converts from Islam, and he's the host of ICTV, a Christian call-in show in Farsi, beamed into Iran via satellite. In 1979, he was in the streets of Iran chanting "Death to America" as a good radical Muslim, then he came to USC to get a Ph.D. in computer engineering. He was spiritually empty, with a divorce date set, and he reads the Koran one more time, not getting any direction. Then he read the Gospel of Matthew and was confronted with the person of Jesus. As a result, he came to faith in Christ at Church of the Open Door here in LA. He's happily married, and lives in the Bay Area, with his three children. Today, Iran has a population of 70 million, and 70% or 49 million of the them are under the age of 30. Hormoz share some great stories about his ministry.
