A few days after a tearful Vaus made his way to the front of the tent to publicly commit his life to Christ, he came to visit Mr. Graham, and he had an unusual request. He asked if the evangelist would be willing to meet with Mickey Cohen.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll go anywhere to talk to anybody about Christ,\u201d Mr. Graham said.<\/p>\n
As he wrote in his autobiography, Just As I Am:<\/p>\n
\u201cBy arrangement then, we slipped out of the tent by a back exit after the meeting one night, in order to avoid the press, and got away undetected in Jim\u2019s car. As he drove toward Mickey Cohen\u2019s home, I had mixed feelings\u2014a little uncertainty and hesitation, to be sure, yet a deep-down boldness as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said the boldness came from knowing he was going in the name of Jesus Christ to share the Gospel.<\/p>\n
Seeing Cohen reminded Mr. Graham of Zacchaeus, a notorious figure from the Bible who was short in stature.<\/p>\n
