In this Jesus Saves Ministries Live radio interview conducted Monday, July 27th on blogtalkradio.com, Bill says that in his darkest hour he called on many names, those of his family members and even his wife, but it wasn't until he "called on the name of Jesus" that he found hope to make it through.
