Rick Leland writes from the beach town of South Haven, Michigan
He's been a professional writer for over 20 years, with eight books and hundreds of published works, including the Jesus at Walmart trilogy, a true story An Amish Awakening, a devotional entitled, Living the God Imprinted Life.
And a new book: The Revival You Want. The Revival You Need! Rick says, "This is the most important book I've ever written." Adding, "Yet I still get teary eyed while reading Jesus at Walmart."
He has a Christian Ministry degree from Indiana Christian University, also training for two years with Christian Writers Guild.
Music is a passion for Rick. He sees himself as a songwriter more than a musician.
He enjoys collaborating with other musicians. On these occasions, he likes to call the group The Sammy Schrock Band in honor of his great grandpa who adopted his grandma, subsequently introducing the family to the Christian faith. Look for an upcoming musical project from The Sammy Schrock Band entitled Beautiful Jesus.
A runner for over 4 decades, also competing in an occasional triathlon.
Rick loves visiting a variety of churches and always endeavors to be an encouragement when attending.
A couple of music videos of songs that are very dear to my heart.
These videos, especially There is a God in Heaven, would define "total amateur." Still, I'm hoping the God-message will come through.
Would be nice to see someone do a more polished versions. Would not take much.
