  • King Here: Never Too Old, Too Rich or Too Anything to Meet Jesus

    King Here is the eye-opening true story of God's unfolding plan to bring a rich man through the "eye of the needle". Trusting God and sharing Jesus with aging parents can be difficult. As Trish Porter Topmiller watched her father's casket be lowered into the ground, she knew the complicated jigsaw puzzle of his life finally held the missing piece - Jesus. But for years, his life seemed as far away from grace, and a believing faith in God, as a person can be. A multimillionaire entrepreneur who believed his financial fortress (and business acumen) was invincible, he turned into a workaholic adrenaline junkie - and ultimate opioid statistic who had given up on life. Even then, grace found him. King Here offers hope that no matter how old, how rich or how addicted someone is, it's never too late to meet Jesus. Trish shares her father's inspiring, yet tragic life story - filled with adventure and color and unique escapades - to reveal God's plan for an old rich man who thought he had no need for God. Stepping back to see the big picture brings to light the hope and joy that God truly can answer prayers and do the impossible, but it doesn't always look the way listenerd expect. In this moving tribute to her father, Trish encourages listeners to never give up on loved ones who seem "too far gone" for God to reach.
