When you when you are um writing biographies, you might writing biographies, you might not know anything about them, not know anything about them, but if you immerse yourself in but if you immerse yourself in it for a period of 6 months to it for a period of 6 months to a year, you become an expert a year, you become an expert now, I mean I would think like now, I mean I would think like anything but you also probably anything but you also probably have you know you develop as a have you know you develop as a writer, so you need a writer, so you need a relationship with these people relationship with these people that yeah you, it must be hard that yeah you, it must be hard not to see everything take not to see everything take everything they tell you at everything they tell you at face value or see everything face value or see everything through rose-colored glasses through rose-colored glasses right true and. And sometimes right true and. And sometimes as a as a reporter, you have to as a as a reporter, you have to question them, I had I have one question them, I had I have one gentleman that I did a book gentleman that I did a book with and I immediately stop the with and I immediately stop the book. I didn’t wanna be a part book. I didn’t wanna be a part of it was telling me things of it was telling me things that I was checking out and that I was checking out and then I was bringing up to this then I was bringing up to this person and he was he was having person and he was he was having fits that I was checking him fits that I was checking him out and um and so I just said, out and um and so I just said, I can’t be a part of this.

So a book a book like that um. So a book a book like that has an ark, you know, it’s the has an ark, you know, it’s the climb to the top and then you climb to the top and then you reach that pinnacle and then reach that pinnacle and then you drop and then then it you drop and then then it becomes who is that person becomes who is that person after the fame. That’s right. after the fame. That’s right. That’s when the story really That’s when the story really gets interesting, I know. yeah gets interesting, I know. yeah how many books have you had how many books have you had published, you know Twenty-five published, you know Twenty-five uh well it just it just and I uh well it just it just and I was thinking about that today. was thinking about that today. Here’s the reason when I first. Here’s the reason when I first. Writing in the late 90s, the Writing in the late 90s, the the publishing the publishers the publishing the publishers would give you two to 3 years would give you two to 3 years to write a book and then you to write a book and then you know time would kinda creep up know time would kinda creep up and then it suddenly became a and then it suddenly became a year and then a couple years year and then a couple years later, then it was 6 months and later, then it was 6 months and now I’m writing books with now I’m writing books with deadlines of two and 3 months deadlines of two and 3 months and they’re just they’re and they’re just they’re crushing crushing deadlines and crushing crushing deadlines and um and so I think that’s how um and so I think that’s how I’ve been able to write so many I’ve been able to write so many yes, but you know so that it yes, but you know so that it becomes okay if. Want me to do becomes okay if. Want me to do that? I’m gonna go into that?

I this book is in the can and this book is in the can and we’re just waiting for it to we’re just waiting for it to get released but the uh get released but the uh biography Greg Lori, who’s biography Greg Lori, who’s famous pastor there and in famous pastor there and in Orange County of trees, we did Orange County of trees, we did a biography together, Billy a biography together, Billy Graham and he asked me to be a Graham and he asked me to be a part of that because I. Knew part of that because I. Knew nothing about but boy I sure nothing about but boy I sure was impressed with them when I was impressed with them when I finish uh and and and I finish uh and and and I remember sharing a chapter with remember sharing a chapter with you as I said, I said to the you as I said, I said to the chapter on England where he was chapter on England where he was in uh is in the cynical uh in uh is in the cynical uh press and he had to and he did press and he had to and he did and it was uh that’s a fun run. and it was uh that’s a fun run. Yes, a very interesting. yeah Yes, a very interesting. yeah he ministered to her Majesty. he ministered to her Majesty. did he not yeah he did and he did he not yeah he did and he had. Really that Winston had. Really that Winston Churchill because and this was Churchill because and this was post World War two and uh so post World War two and uh so Billy Graham written about that Billy Graham written about that in his auto biography, but I in his auto biography, but I wanted to really dig deeper. So wanted to really dig deeper. So I consulted a historian about I consulted a historian about that. and I said, I think this that. and I said, I think this was 1954. I’m not mistaken when was 1954. I’m not mistaken when that’s took place and Winston that’s took place and Winston Churchill requested him and so Churchill requested him and so Winston was going through one Winston was going through one of his deep depressions and I of his deep depressions and I consulted the historian and I consulted the historian and I said what it. Have to be said what it. Have to be depressed about it One World depressed about it One World War two. He’s a hero and so he War two. He’s a hero and so he was explaining to me that was explaining to me that socialism was starting to creep socialism was starting to creep up in England and there was up in England and there was talk of socialism communism and talk of socialism communism and now you know you had the now you know you had the Russian red scare and that was Russian red scare and that was starting to penetrate and uh starting to penetrate and uh and so he never really rest on and so he never really rest on his laurels or say II won World his laurels or say II won World War two He was busy worrying War two He was busy worrying about that and so Billy uh had about that and so Billy uh had so he basically. Said to Billy, so he basically. Said to Billy, I lost all hope and he said, Do I lost all hope and he said, Do you believe in hope, Young men you believe in hope, Young men and Billy said. Yes I do and and Billy said. Yes I do and here are the reasons why and here are the reasons why and then when they finished, they then when they finished, they prayed together. Yeah and um prayed together. Yeah and um and so you know in Winston, I and so you know in Winston, I think had battled was raised think had battled was raised with faith and had battled with with faith and had battled with his faith throughout his whole his faith throughout his whole life. But I think I think I life. But I think I think I think he had it there in the think he had it there in the end of his life and you know end of his life and you know who knows maybe Billy Graham who knows maybe Billy Graham was the person that helped him was the person that helped him you know achieve that at the you know achieve that at the end of his life, you know maybe end of his life, you know maybe and. You know cuz he he would and. You know cuz he he would some people who get depressed some people who get depressed and suffer from depression and suffer from depression would take to their bed with would take to their bed with Winston Churchill so Winston Winston Churchill so Winston you always knew when he was you always knew when he was having a bad time cuz he would having a bad time cuz he would get in a bath fill up a bathtub get in a bath fill up a bathtub and smoke endless cigars and and smoke endless cigars and drink, and he would lock drink, and he would lock himself in the bathroom for himself in the bathroom for hours if not days, he would hours if not days, he would just drain the water out and just drain the water out and fill it up again and so I think fill it up again and so I think it was very important for him it was very important for him to find somebody to bring him to find somebody to bring him back to the light. um. And it back to the light. um. And it Billy Graham was that person Billy Graham was that person well, then he was very smart to well, then he was very smart to request him and get together request him and get together with him well, The beauty of with him well, The beauty of that story is that I think the that story is that I think the story I think the meeting was story I think the meeting was only gonna last 5 minutes, but only gonna last 5 minutes, but it lasted forty and Winston it lasted forty and Winston kept of winds are waiting for kept of winds are waiting for like a half hour and he yelled like a half hour and he yelled as secretary.
