Last week, Manute Bol died of skin disease and kidney failure.  Only 47 years old, Bol was a 7’7” Sudanese immigrant who was best known to American sports fans for his lackluster NBA career.  But Manute Bol was so much more than a basketball player.  He was a devout Christian who lived a life of sacrifice.  This aspect of Bol’s life and career was often overlooked and misunderstood.  One remarkable exception to this appeared in last week’s Wall Street Journal.  You need not be an NBA or Manute Bol fan to appreciate this stellar bit of journalism.  Enjoy.
