Luis correctly points out: “Marxist revolutions in Latin America and elsewhere have never transformed lives for the better. As Rosario’s story illustrates, the only revolution that works occurs every time someone becomes a new creation in Christ. He alone changes lives for good here and now—and for all eternity.”   Throughout Luis Palau’s long, fruitful... Continue Reading
