George Bennard struggled to write “The Old Rugged Cross,” his most famous hymn. But he learned perseverance at a young age and refused to give up. A spark of inspiration found him during a tour of sermons across Michigan, and his determination finally resulted in one of Christendoms’s all-time favorite songs.
