...Relax, we're going to get out of here," Ramirez said. "I was telling them, 'Breathe, breathe, Christ is on our side, we're gonna get out of here.'" He prodded everyone out the door, herding stragglers. It was an eerie walk down the smoky stairs, a path to safety that ran through the suffering. They saw people who had been badly burned. Their skin, he says, "was like a grayish color, and it was like dripping, or peeling, like the skin was peeling off their body." One woman was screaming. "She said she lost her friend, her friend went...
...LUCADO: PW predicts bestsellerdom for "Traveling Light: Releasing the Burdens You Were Never Intended to Bear" by Max Lucado (W Publishing Group; October), giving it a starred review.

...ebullient post-war nerviness to Bright's Four Spiritual Laws, which boil the Gospel down to 45 words. ("God loves you and offers a wonderful plan for your life./Man is sinful and separated from God, thus cannot know and experience God's love and plan./Jesus Christ is God's only provision for man's sin./We must individually receive Jesus as Savior and Lord.")
