This book is the story of Scott Bartleson, proving that truth is indeed stranger than fiction. It's his story of first being wild for no good reason to becoming wild for God.
It's also God's story. Maybe it's part of your story too.
If the church has pushed you out, don't give up on God. He will never give up on you. And if a relationship with Jesus seems too remote or far-fetched, know that he specializes in people on the fringe--people just like Scott--and if you're on the fringe, people just like you.
Scott Bartleson's life has never been dull. That much is sure. Raised by a single mom during a time when such situations were rare, this godly woman took Scott and his siblings to church every Sunday. But the adults cast religious judgment on her for a situation out of her control, and their children whispered disapproval to hers.
This forever strained Scott's relationship with the church, and it threatened his standing with God. For the first part of his life, the enemy was winning. He controlled Scott, trying to make his grasp on this wayward youth permanent.
Then God got Scott's attention--not through church or religion, but through a personal, life-changing relationship. And under the Holy Spirit's influence, Scott's life made a dramatic U-turn. He went from pursuing a destructive path to becoming God's wild man and living a life that matters.
Live vicariously through Scott's Spirit-directed journey as he learns to serve God and spread the good news of Jesus to those who need it most.
Be motivated through Scott's story to live a life that matters, a life with eternal consequences.
