David Ring was born dead. For eighteen minutes after his delivery, his brain was deprived of oxygen, leaving him with cerebral palsy, a malady that affects his motor skills and speech. He lived the first fourteen years of his life dependent on the love and self-sacrifice of his mother. She was his motivation and his cheer-leader. But when she died, he was passed from family member to family member. His confidence was shattered and his hopes for the future were dismal. That was until he met Jesus-since then, his life has become a dynamic challenge for all who call themselves followers of Jesus Christ. Just As I Am tells the story of this enthusiastic man. He has overcome gigantic obstacles, achieved things no one ever deemed possible-all through the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ. His life was changed, and yours can be too. People throw away broken things, but God uses them. Don't ask "Why'" Ask "What can I become'" When you ask why, you question God's authority and become bitter. God loves you, and nothing happens that He does not ordain. At the burning bush God told Moses to put down his stick, but Moses wouldn't put it down. What is your stick'

The life of David Ring is a phenomenal one. This book will make you laugh, cry, smile, and frown. It will inspire you. You will understand what it means when people say that God accepts us just the way we are. David is an inspiration to everyone who meets him and gets to know this incredible man of God

This review is from: Just As I Am: The Life of David Ring (Paperback)
Ever heard of David Ring? Well, he's a Christian evangelist who also has cerebral palsy. Listen to him sometime. He'll make you feel very uncomfortable at first, but he'll leave you encouraged and pumped to serve Christ.
His autobiography JUST AS I AM (same title Billy Graham used for his) is a fascinating read. It's very difficult to put down even for the slow, undisciplined readers like myself. His motto is: "I have cerebral palsy. What's your problem?" In other words, I have cerebral palsy, therefore I don't fit into normal American society. But I'm not letting it hold me back. I still working and fighting as hard as I can to serve the Lord. So, what's your excuse? This message which is the focal point of David Ring's ministry initially makes the life-long church-goer very uncomfortable. But if you listen, and act, this is a message which will change your life. I highly recommend this book. It's not one you'll easily forget.
