Lifting up Jesus is what George Foreman, ex-heavyweight boxing champion of the world is all about today. In the 1968 Olympics at Mexico City at the age of 19 George Foreman won the Gold Medal in boxing in the heavyweight division for the United States. In furthering his career he went on to win the heavyweight championship title in January, 1973 by defeating Smokin Joe Frazier by technical knockout in the second round at Kingston, Jamaica. Today George preaches “the doctrine of love.”

This live recording, done on December 17, 1979 and December 18, 1979 has captured the energy and vitality of George Foreman preaching in the streets of Houston, Texas. On these two nights in biting 25 degree weather— one night in a white neighborhood and one night in a black low income housing complex George carried his message to the people.

On the first night, as we left George’s home in a small town just outside Houston he said to me, “I have to quit at 9:00 P.M. because I had a dream that the police will show up.” Lo and behold, at exactly 9:00 P.M. a group of about 20 police approached and disconnected the power to the sign which let passersby know that this is George Foreman. It was truly amazing. George just looked up and smiled. He didn’t need to ask the time. He knew.

The next day was spent with George at his home listening and learning. He discussed God, Truth, The Bible, but most of all Jesus Christ. When asked his denomination he simply replied, “Jesus.”

On this album is recorded the incredible, chilling story of George’s rebirth On this album you will hear all about his last fight in 1977,* when after the bout he DIED in his dressing room. Yes, died and was reborn.

On this recording you will hear George Foreman speak. The man who grew up “waiting for the next man to beat up.” The man who says that when he fought he had to have a special referee to “keep him from hitting a man when he was down.” The man who now has only love in his heart. Love for everyone, Black, White, or Yellow. He does no see color—only people, only love. For everyone, but most of all for Jesus Christ.

This is the story of George Foreman. Listen to him tell his story. I know you will feel as if you are right there with HIM.
