They could be attorneys, doctors, professors, highly educated, ministers, even successful businessmen or women. Who have fallen from riches to rags. The author William (Bill) Taylor , after having a dream of seeing such a one sleeping under wreck car hoods near a junk yard. Seeing this person get up and cross a parking lot and begins to dig in a dumpster in search for food, when the owner of the restaurant brings him a plate of food.

Review and Short Biography

I have known Preacher Bill Taylor since childhood. He grew up in a Christian family. Bill learned early the simple gospel of John 3:16. Even before his call to preach, the Lord was preparing him. God has worked through all of Bill's experiences to reach people on all levels, right where they are, and to lead them to Jesus. He is a gifted soul winner, preacher, teacher and writer. His mind is always working overtime on the next good way to tell people about Jesus, our Savior and Lord. Indeed he is a walking encyclopedia of life with God. He is a national treasure waiting to be found.

In his first book FROM RICHES TO RAGS and FROM RAGS TO RICHES, his years of preaching a sermon in a certain length of time is no more evident than in the efficient, concise and bare bones way of telling the wonderful story, once again, of how the Lord can work in a life to bring about the very best that there can be for any individual. He does not lose us in needless details, but uses our time wisely being careful to help us understand Jimmy as a person, how he came to be the way he was and how the Lord worked through various circumstances to bring him to the best that he was to become. What a journey it is for Jimmy as he goes from riches to rags in order for him to learn just how rich and blessed he had been and to bring him from the bottom of the proverbial barrel back to more riches and greater blessings than ever before once he found the core of what is true success - to give his heart and life totally to the Lord for His service in telling others what the Lord can do. You cannot put the book down till you have finished it.
