...asking his people to "turn from their wicked ways" (II Chronicles 7:14). Some in the startled crowd recall him saying, "The company is now in God's hands." One executive wondered if Goshorn had "wigged out." In fact, behind Goshorn's sudden move lay a convoluted tale of boardroom intrigue and a business slump that the chiefs faith has yet to reverse...
