Are You Ready‪?‬

Bill ran for sheriff; looked for missing children; got attacked by a pimp, dogs, moose, and a bear; built a cabin in the mountains; and played his keyboard across the country and in the White House—with hooks for hands.

On May 11, 1971, Bill Rasmussen was a twenty-four-year-old country bumpkin who was painting from the roof of a building, when thirteen thousand volts of electricity from a power line entered his body through his hands and exited through his upper legs. Three months later, he awakened with six years of memory erased and a wife, a child, and a parole officer he didn’t recognize.

While unconscious, he repeatedly heard the question “Are you ready?” and a powerful urgency he couldn’t shake stalked him to find the answer to that question. He didn’t know God very well, nor did he know that God was about to take him on a forty-year journey full of mind-boggling, exciting, and catastrophic adventures—before he would find the answer to that question.
