Mystery Guest

Guess who is going to post on What Athol Wrote tomorrow? Here are a few hints:

> One of the top selling authors of Christian fiction in the world.
> Does not have a blog.
> Does not want a blog.
> Does not like to blog.
> Has decided to "come out of hiding" just this once, to speak out about the 2008 Presidential elections.

Think you know who this is? If so, feel free to post your guess in the comments, and then tune in tomorrow to see if you were right. And just to make things more interesting, let me say right here in print that there will be a prize awarded tomorrow to someone somewhere for some reason. :)

In the meantime, here are links to a few quick excerpts from various interviews and debates, for those who haven't had a chance to see Mike Huckabee in action. Check them out, and see if, like me, you don't find yourself feeling like you're watching a remake of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. Here's a man who truly believes, as that movie's script says, "The only causes worth fighting for are the lost causes." Except as the movie also teaches, when we truly believe that, those causes are not really lost at all....

The most pressing moral issue.
On evolution.
On poverty.
On being "Communicator in Chief"
Don't ask, don't tell.
Illegal immigration.
On the ecology.
Attaining energy independance.

I'll guess one of my favorites: Frank Peretti.

And I want to win something--anything! Just kidding. :)

Hmmm, Peretti has a blog.

I'll guess Tim Lehaye.

Definitely Peretti.

I don't know who... But you never said it was a man. I'm guessing maybe it's not.

Hmmm. Tom Morrisey?

Good guess, gb!

I'd recognize Terri Blackstock's arm anywhere!! (Just kidding, posting WAY after the fact.)

Terri's post was powerful, Athol! Thanks for sharing, and for allowing us to spread the word.
