Flamboyant and tireless, Glenn W. Turner is to salesmanship what Billy Sunday was to revivalism. Now 37, he has built a tiny door-to-door cosmetics firm into a multimillion-dollar empire by stirring life's losers with a bewitching fast-buck gospel. "All we're doing is showing people how they can make something of themselves," says Turner, a sharecropper's son who favors neon-bright suits, ivory-colored boots made of skin from unborn calves, and a rhinestone American-flag lapel pin the size of a calling card.

The first three Gospels, says Rice, seem more dependable, since John "was much hotter on visions and supernatural things." They concentrated on Christ's reputation as a humanitarian thinker, the charismatic leader...
