And he refused again and again, a great chef in venerable years suspiciously examined from head to toe , and often were not even allowed on the threshold. It took a long time before he could find the first customer . Under the contract, Sanders received in each restaurant, just 5 cents for each of its chicken.

However , an American preacher and author has done everything possible to change that. Dr. Bob Rogers, whose father was a pastor Veymon Rogers colonel , has written a book about the legendary entrepreneur fried chicken. In this book he reveals the amazing facts about the founder of the restaurant chain KFC, Colonel Sanders . In it he tells the story of how his father was baptized this famous billionaire in the River Jordan in 1967 , shortly after he became a Christian. Rogers writes: My father knelt beside him and said, Colonel, you want to be born again? Old Colonel , with tears in his eyes, said : I really want to , do you think that Jesus can really save me and set me free from what I swear ? Then my father said, Colonel, God will save you tonight and you ll never swear again. that night , Colonel sincerely accepted Christ into his heart .

Dr. Rogers book also tells the story of how the colonel experienced a supernatural healing, when the operation was planned for the colon to stop disease progression .

People do not know that I gave away most of his money and most of them go to church.
