LITTLE d AND THE BEE: A Powerful True Story of Love and Forgiveness

Hardcover |English |0692899693 | 9780692899694
Overview

At eighteen, Randy was a model student, star athlete, and brand-new Christian about to conquer the world until he learned of a dark family secret--a horrendous crime committed almost a year before he was born. As a result, Randy trashed his life and lost his ability to trust anyone--especially God.

After years of alcohol and drug abuse, a failed marriage, and the demon taunting him to commit murder and suicide, Randy planned to disappear into the wilderness. Before he could escape, a preacher's daughter named Jenny entered his life. Sensing that God had special plans for Randy, she was unexplainably drawn to patiently love and pray for him. A series of mind-boggling miracles, visions, and prophecies followed. What he didn't know was that all of these spectacular "God sightings" were helping prepare him for the biggest challenges yet to come.

Buckle your seatbelt, grab a box of tissue, and get ready to be blown away as Randy takes you with him on this remarkable true journey of God's story in his life--with a multi-climatic ending that will warm your heart and leave you in awe of a real, loving, living God!

Editorial Reviews


"This story will rattle you to the bones. It's gut-wrenching. It's funny. It's sobering. It's uplifting. And most of all, Little d and the Bee is a story Jesus would want shouted from the mountaintops. Enjoy Randy's journey . . . it's not gonna take you long to read it." - Creston Mapes, Best-Selling Author


"Randy Mead has quite the amazing story to tell. Little d and the Bee is a thrilling and passionate book. It is well written and most definitely worth your time. The power of forgiveness is perfectly displayed and I was able to deeply identify with that. This book is intense and easy to read and you will have a difficult time putting it down. Once you have read his story, you will not be able to forget Randy." - Nicky Cruz, Evangelist & Best-Selling Author - "Run Baby Run"


"Randy Mead should be in law enforcement--his story arrested my heart and soul! Little d and the Bee anchors a timeless truth amid the turbulent sea of our human dilemma: God never wastes pain! This compelling story is a chronicle of desperation birthing dependence...pain introducing purpose...hope knows your name! I know, love, and respect this man. His story is authentic. His faith is genuine. His life is an invitation to every reader: come find yourself...allow the grace of God to find you. I watched Randy play basketball in college. He was a fearless competitor and could shoot the rock with composed accuracy...in telling his story Randy Mead just swished a buzzer-beater-adversity-defeater! This story defines hope!" - Pastor/Evangelist Rick Ousley, Tuscaloosa, Alabama


"Little d and the Bee is a testament that God is alive and will show up and show out. Randy Mead's journey will inspire you to evaluate the spiritual markers that God has lined up in your life to accomplish His divine purpose. This book is God-sent medicine! A story you can't put down!" - Former NBA Player John & Mary Shumate, Phoenix, Arizona


"I read Randy Mead's Little d and the Bee in one sitting. It's a page-turning story of gut-wrenching emotion, with a profound message of forgiveness set forth in a beautifully crafted, candid, and down-to-earth western-style of prose. If the story of Joseph revealing himself to his brothers clothed in forgiveness is the unsurpassed high-water mark of emotional intensity of the Old Testament, then this work by Randy Mead is the high-water mark of emotion for the modern-day. Readers will find themselves unable to put it down, devouring it in a matter of hours, and if they are wise, with a box of tissues on hand! An added prize is the story's rich western motif that will appeal to fans of Norman McLean's A River Runs Through It." - Mickey Penosky, Author & Attorney, Aurora, Illinois


"Buckle your seatbelts and hold on tight as you read Little d and the Bee. It's a rollercoaster ride filled with twists and turns of laughter, tears, forgiveness, and relationships. Randy's testimony is a great example of how the Spirit of God can change us from the inside out if we allow Him to work in our lives no matter what happens to us. It points us to the greatest love story ever told, God the Father sending His Son Jesus to die on the Cross to reconnect us with our Perfect Father." - Colin Sinclair, San Diego Multi-Area Director, Fellowship of Christian Athletes


"Randy's story unfolds in ways that only God's hand and sovereign knowledge could possibly weave together. From the trials, we are sharpened. I highly recommend this read." - Tim Hart, Bozeman, Montana
