I was introduced to Ravi while in seminary. He has been an incredible influence on my ministry and even the way I communicate the gospel. A consummate gentleman who was given the wonderful gift of being able to communicate the Truth of God in an intelligent and winsome manner. Thank you Erick for posting this!
I did have the pleasure of meeting and talking with Ravi when he came and spoke for a weekend to college students at a convocation sponsored by Second Presbyterian Church in Memphis (my hometown). He was so kind, humbly gracious and softspoken. Yet he fielded the students' toughtest questions with patience and humor--he was disarming in every way.
His dear young friend and co-laborer, Nabeel Qureshi, (see "Forever Friends of Nabeel Qureshi" on Facebook) was no doubt right behind the Lord Himself, welcoming Ravi. What a great reward is his. I'm so sorry his brilliant mind and authoritative voice will be gone from us... ...for a while.
Daniel 12:3 "Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever." Well done good and faithful servant.
I enjoyed what of Ravi Zacharius that I listened to. Didn't he do an event or two with Dennis Prager? A gracious spirit when challenged by enemies is a gift from God. We thank God for Ravi Zacharias..... and we are left here until Christ calls us home, or He comes in glory to judge the world.
Last night, to my astonishment, PBS ran a 2 hour biography of Justice Clarence Thomas. Politics is terribly competitive. Now, if Biden is the Democrats' nominee, we can say that his experience includes being the chairman of a "high-tech lynching!" Being involved in war or politics does tend to preclude one's having a ministry such that of Ravi Zacharias or Billy Graham. But maybe I should read Zacharius' books anyway. I never have.
Ravi was truly a great servant of God. I met him in the early 90's and have followed his ministry ever since. While we are weeping our loss the heavens are praising God for Ravi's service here.
"Jesus Among Other Gods" was given to me by an evangelical friend years ago, to explain her beliefs. Zacharius' story was fascinating and deeply moving. Yes, he'll be missed.

A great loss, but he left behind incredible resources so that his work can continue. I am so grateful his suffering was short.

It is truly a loss for our world in such a great time of need. But he is in glory forever.
I am very sorry he is gone. I loved his speaking and writing. Ravi is home with our Lord.

He was unafraid to speak the truth and will be sorely missed. Thank you for posting this.
