...America's pastor at prayer over the magazine's logo to reflect that the Good News he preaches is outside the confines of TIME--both the magazine and the dimension. That is consistent with veteran writers Gibbs' and Duffy's story, which focused on a spiritual rather than secular mission in which Graham was not confrontational about policy and politics but constantly challenged the state of each President's soul. Graham has always been very direct and urgent about the Gospel--the truth he most cared about conveying to people in power...

She wrote in 1951 that the Passion was the only aspect of Jesus' life...
...letters are full of inner conflict about her accomplishments. Rather than simply giving all credit to God, Gottlieb observes, she agonizes incessantly that "any taking credit for her accomplishments - if only internally - is sinful" and hence, perhaps, requires a price to be paid. A mild secular analog, he says, might be an executive who commits a horrific social gaffe at the instant of a crucial promotion. For Teresa, "an occasion for a modicum of joy initiated a significant quantity of misery," and her subsequent successes led her to perpetuate...
