I, Radical

Updated New Edition.

“I will always have all I need to do all God wants!”

Now, that’s a pretty radical statement, don’t you think? And yet, it has been my way of life for over 40 years. Think about that. For over four decades, I have trusted in God to provide all that I have needed to feed and support my family, care for myself personally, and start a business that has become a national leader in its market space. And now, as an 86-year-old, I am trusting Him to give me His strength and all I need to finish the race that He set before me and to finish it strong! Yes, I realize that is radically different thinking from the norm in our culture—even our evangelical Christian church culture. But I’ve bet my life on the truth of that simple statement, and this book is my story.

I’m an ordinary man who failed at most of the most important things in life—until Jesus Christ reached down to me and saved me. My life changed forever on November 18, 1973, when I responded to the gospel and said to Jesus, “Lord, if this is real, and if You died on the cross so I could be forgiven for my sin, and if You want my life, You can have it, and I will do whatever You want with the rest of it.” I had no idea what that might mean, what would happen, or how good an “abundant life” could be. I know now: Jesus, that’s how. Jesus is the answer. It is just that radically simple. I gave Him my life 51 years ago, and this is the story of what He has done with an ordinary man who trusts Him.
