Lord of the Ring

Ever heard of David Ring? Well, he's a Christian evangelist who also has cerebral palsy. Listen to him sometime. He'll make you feel very uncomfortable at first, but he'll leave you encouraged and pumped to serve Christ. His autobiography JUST AS I AM (same title Billy Graham used for his) is a fascinating read. It's very difficult to put down even for the slow, undisciplined readers like myself. His motto is: "I have cerebral palsy. What's your problem?" In other words, I have cerebral palsy, therefore I don't fit into normal American society. But I'm not letting it hold me back. I still working and fighting as hard as I can to serve the Lord. So, what's your excuse? This message which is the focal point of David Ring's ministry initially makes the life-long church-goer very uncomfortable. But if you listen, and act, this is a message which will change your life. I highly recommend this book. It's not one you'll easily forget.

David, you made me CRY!

Reading this book a year ago didn't keep my eyes dry, but kept them wet - all the time. I LOVED the stories about how his life was, how he found love in God, made a GREAT, LOVING FAMILY .... and how he didn't give up on his dreams.For those who haven't read this - SHOULD, and DON'T FORGET TO GRAB A BOX OF TISSUES WITH YOU! (I'm going to go tell my FRIENDS about this book and have THEM read this book!)

An awesome book !! God has a plan and purpose for us all!!

If you have ever heard David Ring speak, you must read this book. It is a powerful demonstration how God has a specific plan for each of us! I read it in one day...could not put it down.

The life of David Ring is a phenomenal one. This book will make you laugh, cry, smile, and frown. It will inspire you. You will understand what it means when people say that God accepts us just the way we are. David is an inspiration to everyone who meets him and gets to know this incredible man of God
