Richard is a lifelong follower of Jesus whose faith began at age seven and never detoured into rebellion. He grew up in a large, joy-filled Christian family where biblical virtues weren’t just taught; they were lived. Trained as a lawyer with a B.S. in biology, he combines rigorous logic with a childlike trust in Scripture to make faith clear, practical, and life-giving

. Over five decades, Richard has encouraged friends, family, and church members one-on-one; this book is his way to serve many more with the same hope, peace, and joy he’s seen work in real life.

Richard’s “easy yoke” approach isn’t naïve. He shows how God’s love, sovereignty, and the Spirit’s help re-frame everything, so obedience becomes intuitive and resilient—even in grief, loss, and uncertainty. He doesn’t ask you to ignore reality; he helps you interpret it biblically and respond with wisdom and calm.
