Christianity Today Magazine – Lewis Smedes, 81, Critically Injured in Fall

Lewis B. Smedes, 81-year-old professor emeritus of theology and ethics at Fuller Seminary in Pasadena, California, is in critical condition after a fall at his home in Sierra Madre, a nearby suburb. No official word has been released, but the prognosis for the prolific author and speaker is said not to be good, according to sources… Smedes, whose teachings and books on forgiveness touched the lives of many, said forgiveness comes from understanding the fact that “the God who has the whole world in his hands has grace for the whole world in his heart.”

Sad news about a man who has taught me much about forgiveness.
