Ray Stedman grew up in the rugged cowboy country of Montana. Abandoned by his father when he was a young boy and emotionally cut off from his mother, Ray had a ruggedly independent upbringing. Yet, through faith, he matured into one of the great pastors of the twentieth century. Today's church is filled with leaders like David Roper, Charles Swindoll and Luis Palau, who consider Ray their mentor and lifelong friend. Ray's preeminent goal was to be a faithful steward of the gifts God had given him. By examining the life of this remarkable but very human man, you will find lessons and applications for your own life. 267 pages, softcover from Discovery House.
