How Gayle Haggard Responded in Her Darkest Hour
Gayle Haggard's new book, Why I Stayed: The Choices I Made in My Darkest Hour, gives a gut-wrenchingly honest account of how she discovered her husband Ted Haggard's infidelity."My heart skipped a beat when I heard the serious tone in his voice," she writes. "I felt the life begin to drain from my body. I sat down across from Ted at the attorney's conference table, and as I looked at him, I saw that his expression had changed. This was not the confident man who had entered the building with me only a few moments before. This man's face had contorted with anguish.

Christians: The New Social Outcasts
I was an outcast in the 6th grade. I’ve told more than one person that I wouldn’t go back to that time in my life for all the money in the world. That was the year my classmates got downright mean. We’ve all heard the old saying, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but …

Things are different in Canada. No offense to Canadians, of course. Recently I was engaged in a lively debate about the topic of homosexuality and politics with a dear Canadian friend while I was there for a speaking engagement. Obviously, Canadian law has gone much further than U.S. law when it comes to the legitimization …
