This pastor, however, is a man of sometimes jarring contradictions. Onstage he comes across as an average guy commiserating about the little trials that face us all; yet, with earnings estimated at $57 million this year, he makes more money than any other entertainer on the globe.

"I have reported more than 5,000 violent deaths," she boasts. "Many of the corpses have had familiar faces: cops and killers, politicians and prostitutes...
Riding in the back of his limousine, Sabra was attacked by two gunmen on a motorcycle. One of them fired three pistol shots through a window of the car, wounding Sabra in the face and neck.
