Journalist Malcolm Muggeridge was one of the West’s leading atheists. But in a stunning reversal, in 1969 he published Jesus Rediscovered, declaring his faith in Christ. “I may, I suppose, regard myself as a relatively successful man. People occasionally stare at me in the streets; that’s fame. I can fairly easily earn enough to qualify for admission to the higher slopes of the Internal Revenue Service. That’s success. Furnished with money and a little fame, even the elderly…may partake of trendy diversions. That’s pleasure. It might happen once in awhile that something I said or wrote was sufficiently heeded for me to persuade myself that it represented a serious impact on our time—that’s fulfillment. Yet, I say to you—and beg you to believe me—multiply these tiny triumphs by millions, add them all together, and they are nothing—less than nothing, a positive impediment—measured against one drop of that living water Christ offers to the spiritually thirsty.” —p. 77
