Just Get Up Again - Randall K. Richards
- When Life Knocks You Down
What was the worst day you have ever lived? For me, it was the day I had to tell a family that their dad had been killed while turkey hunting. Or maybe it was the day my doctor spoke the word cancer in my direction.
Have you ever felt lost? I was once lost in a foreign city of over twelve million people where I couldn't speak the language. Have you ever been knocked flat on your back? One day, that happened to me repeatedly. Ever been blindsided? Me too--both in a car and in life. But I think they all hit me simultaneously the day a perplexed doctor looked at me and said, "This is the worst case I have ever seen!"
I'm not trying to compare trials and scars but to simply testify that God has walked with me and sustained me every step of my journey. And what He does for one, He is willing and able to do for another.
This book is full of praise to God for how He brought my wife and me through some extremely hard times, including shoulder impingement, prostate cancer, lean finances, five surgeries within two years' time, and much more. Chock-full of testimony, song, poetry, scripture, and helpful anecdotes that will stir your faith, encourage your heart, and perhaps even bring a smile or a tear.
Stand with me outside a hospital room door, not knowing what to say or do. Discover how God blessed me with a single can of SpaghettiOs. The Bible says, "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord" (Psalm 37:23). I'm not saying that I'm good, but God sure is.
Here is one man's nearly two-year struggle in three parts: his personal tsunami, holding on to God like a man holds to a life jacket on a boat in a storm, and finally emerging from the deep with his head above water. His story--chocked full of scripture, testimony, song, poetry, and anecdotes--is sure to bring laughter, perhaps a tear, some nostalgia, and most of all, lots of praise to God.
