Meet Chaplain, Author Billy Zeoli

Billy Zeoli is retired from co-chairmanship with Doug DeVos of Gospel Communications

International, the developer of the Bible Gateway and trained and hosted hundreds of evangelical

ministries on the World Wide Web beginning in 1995.

Previously he was President of Gospel Films, which produced hundreds of dramas and documentaries,

including Francis Schaeffer's 10-part series, "How Should We Then Live?"

He was White House chaplain under President Gerald R. Ford and was one of three people he confided

in regarding pardoning former President Nixon.

Billy also served as chaplain and spiritual advisor to many professional athletes and teams, including

Tom Landry and Roger Staubauch during their incredible run with the Dallas Cowboys. Bobby

Richardson of the New York Yankees remains a close friend.

Unabashedly as a Christian, He met in the Middle East with such important political figures as

Menachem Begin, Yasser Arafat, and Anwar Sadat.

He is writing a book that offers his insider's view of everything from President Ford's pardon of former

US President Richard Nixon to Islamic-Jewish-Christian relations, and from the role of faith in

professional sports to the connections between American entrepreneurialism and Christianity.

On my next blog, I will review a book of his that will be republished as an e-book “God’s Got a Better Idea.” This is a collection of prayers Billy wrote and sent to President Gerald Ford. More about this later.
