Ravi Zacharias (born 26 March 1946) is an Indian-born Canadian-American Christian apologist. A defender of traditional evangelicalism, Zacharias is the author of numerous Christian books, including the Gold Medallion Book Award winner Can Man Live Without God? in the category "theology and doctrine" and bestsellers Light in the Shadow of Jihad and The Grand Weaver. He is the founder and chairman of the board of Ravi Zacharias International Ministries, host of the radio programs Let My People Think and Just Thinking, and has been a visiting scholar at Ridley Hall, where he studied moralist philosophers and literature of the Romantic era, and has had six honorary doctoral degrees, including a Doctor of Laws and a Doctor of Sacred Theology. Zacharias held the chair in Evangelism and Contemporary Thought at Alliance Theological Seminary from 1981 to 1984. Evangelical Christian leader Chuck Colson referred to Zacharias as "the great apologist of our time." Zacharias is considered to be a leading figure of the evangelical intelligentsia movement.
William Franklin "Billy" Graham, Jr., KBE (born November 7, 1918) is an American evangelical Christian evangelist, ordained as a Southern Baptist minister, who rose to celebrity status in 1949 reaching a core constituency of middle-class, moderately conservative Protestants. He held large indoor and outdoor rallies; sermons were broadcast on radio and television, some still being re-broadcast today. In his six decades of television, Graham is principally known for hosting the annual Billy Graham Crusades, which he began in 1947, until he concluded in 2005, at the time of his retirement. He also hosted the popular radio show Hour of Decision from 1950 to 1954.
Graham was a spiritual adviser to several American presidents; he was particularly close to Dwight D. Eisenhower, Lyndon Johnson (who was considered to be one of Graham's closest friends) and Richard Nixon. He insisted on integration for his revivals and crusades in 1953 and invited Martin Luther King, Jr. to preach jointly at a revival in New York City in 1957. Graham bailed King out of jail in the 1960s when King was arrested in demonstrations. He was also lifelong friends with another televangelist, Robert H. Schuller, whom Graham talked into doing his own television ministry in Garden Grove, California, from 1970 until Schuller's retirement in 2010 (who was the longest-serving minister of the telecast), from the Neutra Sanctuary, after Schuller visited him in 1969, at an Anaheim Convention Center for one of his crusades.

Amsterdam (English /ˈæmstərdæm/ or /ˌæmstərˈdæm/;Dutch: [ɑmstərˈdɑm]) is the capital city and most populous city of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Its status as the Dutch capital is mandated by the Constitution of the Netherlands though it is not the seat of the Dutch government, which is The Hague. Amsterdam has a population of 834,119 within the city proper, 1,329,779 in the urban area and 1,603,531 in the metropolitan area. The city region has an approximate population of 2,431,000. The city is located in the province of North Holland in the west of the country, and is also North Holland's largest city. It comprises much of the northern part of the Randstad, one of the larger conurbations in Europe, with a population of approximately 7 million.
Amsterdam's name derives from Amstelredamme, indicative of the city's origin as a dam of the river Amstel. Originating as a small fishing village in the late 12th century, Amsterdam became one of the most important ports in the world during the Dutch Golden Age (17th century), a result of its innovative developments in trade. During that time, the city was the leading center for finance and diamonds. In the 19th and 20th centuries the city expanded, and many new neighbourhoods and suburbs were planned and built. The 17th-century canals of Amsterdam and the 19–20th century Defence Line of Amsterdam are on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

At the invitation of Billy Graham, Ravi Zacharias spoke at a conference in Amsterdam in 1983. One year later, Ravi Zacharias began his own ministry, Ravi Zacharias International Ministries (RZIM). Watch this powerful video of Ravi addressing a gathering of evangelists from around the world. "Before RZIM was formed, I was a professor at Nyack, the Alliance seminary, and I had just spoken for Billy Graham in Amsterdam in 1983. I was flying back from there and I thought to myself, 'Apologetics… How desperately it is needed.' All of my evangelism, as I heard it then, was geared to the unhappy pagan, as it were. And I thought, 'What about the happy pagan? What about the person who has questions and feels no need? What about that type of person? They are more lost in a sense, and desperately i...

In this edition of the Roundtable, Matt has a conversation with world-renowned Christian apologist, Dr. Ravi Zacharias. They discuss the current state of the culture and the Church in the west, how we got here, where we are headed, and what Christians should be doing in the middle of all of it.
Ravi Zacharias was raised in India in a Hindu family. His culture presented many views of God, yet he did not know the message of Jesus. At a point of desperation, he attempted suicide and ended up in a hospital. Through the witness of a young man, he heard the good news and came to faith in Christ. He has since grown to become one of the world’s premiere defenders of the Christian faith. As you hear some of the details of how Ravi turned from near death to new life in Jesus, you’ll find inspiration for your own walk with God and become better prepared to share your faith with others.

Kirk Cameron Interviews Ravi Zacharias
Are we living in the Twilight Zone? In what universe is this possible that renowned apologist Ravi Zacharias would call Arch Heretic Word Faith Teacher Joyce Meyer a "Great Teacher". All I can say is it must be so hard to be famous and a Christian at the same time. It is a sad day when one like Ravi Zacharias would compromise and endorse a false teacher like Meyer. This has been added for documentation for all those who say something like, "how can you say Joyce Meyer is a false teahcer?" http://carm.org/joyce-meyer Here is the link to the entire interview, See for yourself that it is clearly in context of bible teaching that Ravi makes these horrible promotional endorsements of Word of Faith cultist Joyce Meyer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQ28Mrl1v7k http://www.youtube.com/watc...

I don't know about those other guys
There's somethin' in the back of their eyes
But Billy, you're the man
Who don't use slight of hand
Ain't wearin' no disguise
I love you, Billy
I love the simple things you say
And you never seem to get in the way
No one is quite like you
Compassionate and true
"Just as I am", I say
