Charles Koch’s Conversion on the Road to Damascus

“And as Charles Koch journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: and he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Chuckie, Chuckie, why persecutest thou me? And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am American Democracy whom thou persecutes: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, build bridges across partisan divides to find answers to sprawling social problems, and write a book called Believe in People: Bottom-Up Solutions for a Top-Down World.”—Acts 9:3-6 (King John Version)
