Plant a seed of greatness in your children. Speak a word of encouragement to someone who needs to hear it. Inspire someone to be a better person. One day you'll reap a harvest, and your world will become a better place to live.

George Foreman

George Foreman (1949–2025) war ein US-amerikanischer Schwergewichtsweltmeister im Boxen, Unternehmer und überkonfessioneller Prediger in Houston, Texas. Nach einem Bekehrungserlebnis 1977 gründete er eine christliche Gemeinde und stand öffentlich für die Abkehr von Aggression sowie für Beharrlichkeit und Disziplin. Bibellesern dient seine Biografie als Beispiel einer tiefgreifenden Lebenswende und des praktischen Festhaltens an christlichen Werten im Spannungsfeld von Spitzensport und Öffentlichkeit.
