His extensive writings and teachings speak to carrying on when life gets tough, and inspiring others when our journey is light.
Here are five uplifting sayings from Tony:
1. "Jesus is the only Savior, but not everybody who is saved by Him is aware that He is the one who is doing the saving."
2. "Perhaps because our culture and politics have gone so off course, with values so contrary to those of Jesus, more and more people intuitively recognize that His vision of God's kingdom-a new world of compassion, justice, integrity and peace- is the Good News they've been searching and waiting for." –

3. "Jesus never says to the poor: 'come find the church,' but he says to those of us in the church: 'go into the world and find the poor, hungry, homeless, imprisoned.'"
4. "I do not mean that others represent Jesus for us. I mean that Jesus actually is present in each other person."
5. "I have already made the point that we need to have to win people to Jesus Christ, but we must also preach the whole Gospel which not only calls people to love Jesus but to bring His justice into the political and economic arena in which we live." -
as reported in the Baptist Press.
