Living the life of Victory
My new book is titled:
BORN AGAIN LOSERS
Have you ever felt like a loser? Like, no matter what you do nothing turns out right? Most of us have felt like that at one time or another. It may be our insecurity cropping up, or it may be anger over a bad or stupid decision. We’ve been there, and we know what it feels like and we don’t like it. So, what do we do about it? We can sweep it under the proverbial rug. We can pretend it didn’t happen or we can face it head on and seek to correct the situation. That’s what this book is about. Correcting what we don’t like and don’t want in our lives. Take a look, read a sample. Drop me an email and let’s talk. There is always help and hope in Jesus.
We can’t choose what life throws at us but, we can choose what we do with it. The good, the bad, the pretty and the not so pretty will come. I can tell you that the best winning formula is the losing formula; the loss of self, the loss of pride, the loss of ego and any other sin that besets us. The winning formula is to become a born-again loser! This is a book about both losing and winning. The Bible and the Christian life are paradoxical to say the least. We learn that as we live and grow and discover more about living this life. This has been a journey for me. I have found this writing both educational and enjoyable. I have also found that the writing flowed very freely. This tells me that the Lord did the writing and I was just the instrument in His hand. I hope that some of you will find my comments and insights helpful. Perhaps some or many of you can relate to my life experiences and share my feelings and desires as I work out my salvation.

FORWARD
I believe this book is very well written and has a message that many people need. It’s my feeling that the life experiences that Rick has had, has given great insight to both positive and negative responses within the organized church.
I believe many people have had similar experiences but have remained silent for many reasons; for one because they did not know how to express their feelings or for fear they would be offensive to people. I believe Rick has very tactfully approached many subjects and expressed himself well. As people read this book it will give great insight and become a source of healing.
Thanks Rick for your time
and effort.

Some people seem to be born winners. Everything they do seems to turn out just right. Have you ever noticed that and wondered why? It seems so unfair. They always make good decisions. They always come out ahead. They make good deals and prosper. But, of course I am speaking in terms the non-Christian world relates to. But, clearly for the Biblical Christian there is a distinct difference in how we describe winning and losing. The world’s winners do prosper. They often gain the upper hand. They often come out ahead. But, in a strange way this is often not the way the Christian prospers. Jesus said, “what would it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his soul”? Obviously that is a thought provoking question. Somehow, for the Christian, gaining and forfeiting, winning and losing have to be defined differently. If I play a game and win, but I cheat in the process have I really won? If I win a contract in a business deal, but I twisted and doctored the figures to manipulate and confuse my client have I really won? There are obviously different ways to define winning. Most people would say I won and too bad for the other guy. But, in the Christian economy of doing things we simply must lose this kind of thinking. Thus, we have the Christian loser. As the Bible says, ‘the first shall be last and the last shall be first.’ (Mt. 20:16) What I want to talk about is how to win by losing. It is a strange way of looking at life, but I believe it is the Biblical way and the way that all Christians need to follow in order to get to Heaven. My point is simple; the only way to winning in the Christian life is through losing. We must become born-again losers!
