Keep the Faith - ‘Early Show’
Faith foiled a robbery in Florida last Friday. 'Early Show' correspondent Betty Nguyen examines an incident in which a clerk at a cell phone store talked a robber into leaving without the goods by appealing to his Christian faith. As 'The Early Show' rolls the surveillance camera footage, Betty explains, "The suspect asked for money from the register, but the clerk said she had to talk to him about Jesus."

A transcript of the surveillance tape reveals that the clerk told the suspect "You can do whatever you want. I'm going to talk to you about the Jesus I have." As he blesses her for that, the compassionate clerk offers to help the man find a job, asking about his family, etc. After talking it over with the evangelical clerk, the man leaves empty handed. "That's one way to do it," Betty opines.
