"Never man spake like this man" (re. John 7:46). The authority to speak in the name of Jesus Christ is given to them whom, by suffering association and self-denial, have taken up their cross and followed him, not straight to heaven but to Gethsemane, Pilate's Hall, and then Calvary. The cross of Jesus Christ is my cross, and it is yours. By appointment, we are given place in midnight wrestlings to win the power, and by progressive grace and truth, we are given place. This is authority to have place in Christ and to speak out of that place for Christ. Mainstream Christianity has no viable witness of Jesus Christ because they do not live for Jesus Christ; they live for themselves. Christians talk about everything but Christ. Someone has to say it, and this book without apology does just that.

'Crash: Living Life at the Point of Impact' is an eye-opening journey that stresses the importance of living life right in the middle of where God is working. The point of impact of any crash is where the most force and change occur. Christ’s death on the cross was the point of impact that changed the world—the people whom Jesus met were sent on an inevitable crash course that would alter the way man would connect with God forever. Our relationship with Christ in turn relies on this point of impact with a personal Savior who wants to give us an abundant life and help us impact the people and community in which we live.In order to make a radical impact, we must:•Understand the effect of true intimacy with Christ•Discover that our identity is determined by the point of impact with Christ•Realize that our perspective will directly affect our impact•Learn that our attitude can greatly influence the intensity of our impact•Discover that an encounter with Christ will determine the trajectory of our lives •Develop a desire to leave traces of this “impact” for other to followRandy’s heartbeat is to relay biblical truth to a generation seeking relevant Christianity in today’s world. In 'Crash', Randy shows teenagers, parents, and youth leaders the importance of understanding God’s Word so that we may show God’s love to an unbelieving world. If you are tired of just existing and want to be fully alive, come along with Randy on this journey of discovery as we seek to live life at the point of impact!
