KLEINIG on SASSE

"...I still remember it graphically...it was such a significant point in my life. I still remember, Sasse was there, after a lecture, he had a big pile of books--he always carried a big pile of books into lectures, he never opened them, he knew it all by heart, he'd just have them along just in case...
I said, 'Dr. Sasse, do you have a moment?'
And he said [using a low gruff voice], "Yes?" Ah, ah, very abrupt.
'Yes, what do you want Kleinig?'
And I said, 'Ah, look, Dr. Sasse, I've got a spiritual problem."

And Sasse stopped walking, and he faced me, and he lifted his finger and he said,
'Good!'"
