In this excellent book, Richard Pidgley honestly and frankly tells how God graciously changed his life.
When he was just 18 months old, Richard’s parents split up and, after a period of time in a foster home, he spent much of his youth in a succession of children’s homes and boarding schools. Richard tells how he slid into a life of crime, alcohol abuse, sex, drugs and occult practice and, at 17, found himself in Aylesbury prison. In his cell he was initially disgusted to find a Gideons’ Bible, but, feeling a strange compulsion, he opened it and began to read…
Do you ever struggle to believe that the gospel can transform the lives of unchurched unbelievers near you? Then this book will encourage you to be sure that God’s Word is still the power of God unto salvation!
Not only is it a thrilling read for the believer, it is very suitable to give to unbelievers. Richard, who is now an Assemblies of God pastor, does not glory in his sin and there is not a trace of self pity. Rather, he explains with frequent Scripture references the truth about sin and how we can be saved only through Christ’s life and death. He ends with a straightforward and clear summary of the gospel.
It is a book that will lead you to praise God for his grace and why, if you are a believer, you are Seriously Rich!
