"What I have written, I have written!" WHEN HE REACHES MATURITY, even a pagan ruler like Pontius Pilate finds that life has become inescapable. He has done enough and said enough and has molded himself into a pattern that is the mold for the rest of his life. He may be able to shape it, but only in a limited way. Tiberius was the emperor, and Pontius Pilate carried out the instructions of Tiberius. Tiberius certainly had the power of life and death over Pontius Pilate. But there is still a very real sense in which Pilate wasn't willing to give up his dictatorial powers over everyone in his realm. Since he proclaimed Jesus to be the "King of the Jews," so let it be said, so let it be done. Pilate's words could not be changed. To some degree this is true of all of us. We can only marginally change the absolutes of life. God, and God alone, has the last say in all the major and minor details of His providence. Man invariably thinks that he is a free moral agent able to do absolutely as he chooses. But ultimately, he is only as free as God allows.

A unanimous All-American and member of the College Football Hall of Fame, Bill Glass enjoyed a remarkable twelve-year NFL career and was a four-time Pro Bowl selection. But he's made his greatest impact as a loving family man and servant of God, establishing and running one of the world's oldest and largest prison ministries. In From Hero to Zero, Bill recounts his extremely difficult grieving process after losing his lover and spouse of sixty years. In his words, he "wrassled with the heartache, pain, and suffering, sometimes on top and sometimes on the bottom. Because we find ourselves on the bottom too often and it is healthy to admit to going through the valley of the shadow of death. But shadows can't hurt you!" Bill's message is one of raw and complete honesty. His hope is that his struggles will be therapeutic for your pain and suffering--because sooner or later we all go through it.

I don't swear to tell the Truth, the whole Truth and nothing but the Truth because I don't know the whole Truth about anything, and I don't think that anyone else does either. However, I have tried to express myself as clearly and as honestly as I can.

It contains a journal of two trips to Europe, profiles of a legendary Indiana preacher and of five dogs and a cat, three bits of philosophy, three poems, a creed, a memoir, a eulogy and four short stories.
