Campolo has been called a modern-day prophet, although he himself is uncomfortable with that label. Still, like the prophets, he can be counted on to shake people out of their comfort zones and challenge them to live out their faith in practical ways.
The author of such books as Speaking My Mind, 20 Hot Potatoes Christians Are Afraid to Touch, and You Can Make a Difference, Tony Campolo is a widely sought-after speaker.
Dr. Campolo spoke in Gaither Chapel on February 9, 2006.
