Beginnings: The Baker's Story, My Saga

David Riordan is a missionary to the Forgotten Ones of society: the homeless, disenfranchised, and disconnected, but he has not always been. God met him where he was in the middle of his mess, in the middle of the storm of his life, and rescued him. In his first book, The Baker: Prelude to a New Kind of Life, he details those most consequential days, but what gave rise to the necessity of God's move in his life? What was the Prequel to the Prelude to the life he now lives?

From the highs and lows of life to the literal highs and lows of a life plagued by addiction, Riordan recounts a life spiraling out of control to the point his life hung in the balance. Intelligent with his wits eventually stretched to their limits, he entered into a deal to save one for whom he cared greatly. From accidents to attempts on his life and drug deals to gun running, he operated on the edge of a life few ever visit, and most would not have survived. Had God not intervened, neither would have he.

This is the story of his Beginnings.
