Just as I am: The Life of David Ring - Tapa blanda

David Ring was born dead. For eighteen minutes after his delivery, his brain was deprived of oxygen, leaving him with cerebral palsy, a malady that affects his motor skills and speech. He lived the first fourteen years of his life dependent on the love and self-sacrifice of his mother. She was his motivation and his cheer-leader. But when she died, he was passed from family member to family member. His confidence was shattered and his hopes for the future were dismal. That was until he met Jesus-since then, his life has become a dynamic challenge for all who call themselves followers of Jesus Christ. Just As I Am tells the story of this enthusiastic man. He has overcome gigantic obstacles, achieved things no one ever deemed possible-all through the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ. His life was changed, and yours can be too. People throw away broken things, but God uses them. Don't ask "Why'" Ask "What can I become'" When you ask why, you question God's authority and become bitter. God loves you, and nothing happens that He does not ordain. At the burning bush God told Moses to put down his stick, but Moses wouldn't put it down. What is your stick'

DAVID RING was born in an impoverished town in Arkansas, the youngest of eight children.  When he was fourteen, his mother died, and he was passed from family member to family member, never again to feel the love of his mother.  David, a graduate of William Jewel College, is a staff evangelist for First Baptist College, Orlando.  He speaks in more than 200 churches a year, and has been a guest on The Old Time Gospel Hour and The 700 Club.
