This is the story of my early years. I wrote this at the request of some of my children, and those who had heard the stories. This is the book I never intended or wanted to write, but as my books and messages have been distributed around the world, The Scripture says to “know those who labor among you” (see I Thessalonians 5:12). Those who have been influenced by me deserve to know this. It will explain a lot about who I am for good or bad. ~Rick Joyner
