From "Beyond Belief," by Josh Hamilton
"I was created to have an intimate relationship with God and to spread the word. The illogic of my life can be explained only through God - it's a God thing, remember? - and I believe I have an obligation to be open about my faith and the ways in which it delivered me out of darkness.
"My obligation is to speak to people who need help, and to spread the word to those who find themselves in situations that seem hopeless. Nobody was more hopeless than me, nobody more aimless or tortured or imprisoned by his own bad choices. Through the mercy and grace of God, I made it out of my own terrible darkness and into this bright and beautiful light. It would be irresponsible and arrogant of me to keep that to myself."
