Stan Morikawa is an amazing man. On that first day we met, he seemed like a normal guy and simply asked for guidance to help him grow as a new Christian. However, after he revealed more details, it became clear that his life would have to be an extreme makeover project by God. You see, Stan was a gambling addict and was in a desperate predicament. "Fast money was his game and losing money became his fame." He had lost everything. He destroyed his first marriage and family. He was on the verge of doing the same to his current marriage. He faced huge debts, threats on his life and legal judgments. He lost his business and had no money or job. He caused his best friends to lose money in support of his gambling and investment ventures. He was in a deep hole, expecting to die, when God intervened and gave him an opportunity to live. So now here he was, driven by the fact that this was his last chance, and hanging on to the hope that God, now his Father through Jesus Christ, will carry him through. You will laugh, cry, be upset, anxious and uplifted when you read adventure after adventure of God rescuing Stan from seemingly impossible situations. You will be heart-warmed by the new life found by his two families and friends. You will be excited about the new ministries he introduced that bring dynamic solutions for troubled youth and families. His story will prove that God is indeed available today to make special things happen out of nothing when people trust Him to handle every situation, no matter how impossible it may seem.
