reader comments

Rick Hathaway has focused on the true wealth of one’s life. In his book, he offers a powerful challenge which will be as a welcomed rope tossed to the many who want to be rescued from the frantic “scrambling…for acceptance, success, and love.” For a person who has either known the need to be rescued, or who lives in the role of the rescuer, I believe this is a remarkable resource.

Rick’s book has done a marvelous job of revealing to us real values. We live in a spiritually contentious culture, and his book throws out a lifeline to a de-sensitized Christian community. I wish that a book like this was around when I started in ministry twenty-six years ago.

Rick’s book articulates so well the answer to all the deep issues of life that God wants everyone to know. You can read it in the book and allow it to change you, or you can learn the hard way. Let God speak to you through this book and pull you up to higher ground!

This book flows wonderfully. We will be using this book for a small group study. At the end of each chapter there are some thought provoking questions. I highly recommend this book, you will love it.

“I finished reading this book this past weekend. Wow! It hits the important issues right on the head. What a tremendous tribute to Rick’s Dad. I gave copies to my guys to read and am passing it on to my friends. I am going back over the questions to really highlight changes I need to make in my life. I may need to discuss a couple of these questions with some folks after I organize my thoughts. Yes, this book does stimulate the thought process in this way. It also revealed my need to do some more bible study! Thanks for extending your father’s legacy into my life. Now I’ve got to go spend time on those “Big Rocks” in my life! ”

I loved it! This book touched just about all of my emotions in the 249 pages. I remember laughing out-loud at the “She knocks my socks off” comment about his wife, weeping like a baby at the “Mrs. Flowers/few cents offered in compassion” story, and being mad as hell at the “I like Barack Obama” lead in. I could relate to the frustration when an insensitive medical assistant wouldn’t provide needed health care, and the emotion expressed in the “Prayer of the hungry.” But more important than all the emotional stirrings, is the truth that the book conveys. I find he is a talented story-teller, applying Scripture, relating to guys like me, at the most fundamental of levels; and yet at the same time, capturing important truths that I believe are essential for men and women everywhere to contemplate.
