Book Description

The inspiring story of how God saved a rebellious young man and inspired him to help countless others through his international wheelchair organization. Mark Richard was in his early teens when his parents divorced. From then on, he and his brothers grew up with minimal parental supervision. He also struggled with undiagnosed learning disabilities which led to failures in school. These circumstances led Mark to a rime of rebellion during the days of the hippy culture and drugs. Yet, throughout it all, Mark always sought something “more” in his life. Miraculously, God caught Mark’s attention and he was saved. Though he was totally unqualified for the ministry that God planned for him, he followed the path with faith and courage. If Mark had taken others’ advice, he would never have driven a trailer full of wheelchairs to Guatemala in 1988. But over time, that act of obedience grew into a ministry that has impacted hundreds of thousands. All We Need is a Pair of Pliers shows how Mark developed The Beeline, an organization that offers appropriate wheelchair to the millions across the globe who need them. Throughout its pages, readers learn that all they need to say is, “You know what, I think God can use me!”
