Because Peter [Marshall] often seemed to his secretaries and his friends to be so naive about "designing women," they were forever marveling that he emerged unscathed and unspoiled from this period of his [single] life. "God must have had a special battalion of guardian angels watching over Peter," one Westminster friend commented. "I never saw one man surrounded by so much temptation."
"But it's no sin to be tempted," Peter loved to say. "It isn't the fact of having temptations that should cause us shame, but what we do with them. Temptation is an opportunity to conquer. When we eventually reach the goal to which we are all striving, God will look us over, not for diplomas, but for scars...." Catherine Marshall, wife of Peter Marshall
