Hey Bro,

Thanks so much for posting! I remember Dylan's brief experiment with Christianity before he fell away. Worked with a guy in '79 who played the cassette often. I was still lost as I could be, but liked Dylan.

I'm going to listen to clips of Slow Train Coming as soon as I post this.

Praise God & thank you, Jesus! I was blind but now I see, was lost but now I'm found.

"...Dylan's brief experiment with Christianity before he fell away."

Thanks for the update. I have not really followed Dylan's music or life. I'm really glad to see that I may have erred in where I though Dylan was in his faith.

I remember Dylan's brief experiment with Christianity before he fell away.

Way back in '86, I was privileged to have Don Francisco (the Christian musician, not the Spanish-TV host) sing at the church I was working at. Among other things, he talked about how at one point in the late 70s he was feeling despondent, and seemingly out of nowhere he received a phone call from Bob Dylan, who said the Lord had told him (Dylan) to tell Don that He was with him (Francisco), and how that showed that God wants to use us to encourage one another.
