Just found a new source of info. Here is an excerpt from Joel Rosenberg's blog.. The highlighted section is a real cool praise. Even when we seem to lack a touch of God's spirit in our nation (no surprise given the sinful stand of our country in general), God is at work! How better to be encouraged than to know that He is moving and at work supernaturally in this very day and age.

A MORNING WITH TONY DUNGY: Notes from CBA

(Atlanta, Georgia) -- For the past several days, I've been here at the Christian Booksellers Association convention and have had the opportunity to spend time with some truly gifted authors and performers....bottom line: Tony Dungy is a class act....humble, self-deprecating, gentle, and radiating the very quiet strength he writes and speaks about....his new book has just released this week from Tyndale, and we had a great time chatting back stage before the event.....I introduced Tony and his wife to my wife, Lynn, and two of our sons (who I must say seemed a lot more excited about meeting a world champion football coach than hearing my talk!)....Tony graciously signed a football for our boys and then went out and gave a fabulous speech....he said the defining moment of his career was actually not winning the Super Bowl this year, as exciting and rewarding as that was (especially when at during a key playoff game, the Colts were down 21 points at half time yet still came back to win)....the defining moment of his career, as he writes about in the first chapter of the book, was being fired as head coach in Tampa five years ago....at that moment, he really felt devastated and humiliated and was tempted to quit the business all together....but he described how his relationship with Christ sustained him through one of the toughest seasons of his life....he said Jesus taught him to stay focused, to be patient, to work hard, to be persistent, and to have faith that God loves him and has a wonderful plan for his life....imagine if Tony had quit then....what if he had thrown in the towel and left the game he loved after the setback in Tampa?....he had no idea at the time, of course, that he was just a few years away from being the first African-American head coach in NFL history to win the Championship....but, as Tony said, God knew what was ahead and He wanted Tony to trust Him and follow Him no matter what.....Tony also shared the story of playing on the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 1970s...."Mean" Joe Greene once told him that after three tough and disappointing seasons on the Steelers in the early 70s he had almost quit out of exhaustion and frustration....he had come so close to packing it in....imagine if Greene had walked away from the game he loved in 1973?....what a huge mistake that would have been....that very year, 1973, the Steelers drafted rookie wide receiver Lynn Swann....they started winning big, and went on to win the Super Bowl four times that decade (74, 75, 78, 79)....too many people, Tony noted, give up on their dreams too soon, rather than summoning up a quiet strength to keep going, even in the face of disappointment and opposition, and thus they never learn just how much they could really accomplish....where does that inner strength come from?....for Tony, the answer is clear: through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ....in the book he describes that faith and how it has guided him in his career, his marriage, and the tragic death of his son a few years ago....it's a powerful, inspiring story, and one that I'm really enjoying....I noted how discouraged and divided our country has become by the perception that our government is failing in Iraq, in Afghanistan, in Lebanon and in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict....I pesonally don't believe we are failing....I believe the fight we're engaged in against radical Islam is the most important global struggle since the Cold War and the battle against Naziism....failure is not an option....we dare not cut and run because a new Hitler -- Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad -- is on the rise and feverishly trying to build, buy or steal nuclear weapons....I explained that's why I wrote Epicenter and why we made the Epicenter DVD.....at the same time, however, I noted that we need to understand that the big, untold story in the Middle East is a story of dazzling success, not devastating failure....more Muslims are coming to faith in Jesus Christ today than at any other time in history....more than one million Shiite Muslims in Iran have converted to Christianity in recent years, up from just 500 in 1979....more than 5 million Sudanese have come to Christ in the last 10 to 15 years despite a radical Islamic government engaged in genocide.....even in Iraq, thousands upon thousands are coming to faith in Christ, many through dreams and visions of Jesus....I believe that God is raising up a global movment of believers around the world to stand with these new brothers and sisters in the epicenter....it is our job to pray with and for them, to encourage them, to strengthen them, to fund them, to help them love their neighbors and their enemies in the name of Jesus as the Lord builds His Church through them despite Hellish opposition....God is looking for a new generation of world changing leaders....the big question is: who will answer the call?
