Publisher Description
The Extravagant Fool is an underdog narrative. Readers will have a front row seat to Kevin Adams’s breathtaking story—one that builds chronologically through a very difficult four-year period. At the height of financial success, Kevin Adams had it all. A thriving business with more work than he could get to, investments spread out between luxury homes, commercial real estate, and new business ventures. However, by January 2009, over the course of the last 100 days of 2008, Kevin watched in silent amazement as he lost it all. His house of cards came tumbling down.
Kevin had a choice: Do what he had always done—work harder. Or, let go of conventional thinking and learn to live by absolute faith in God. With foreclosures, lawsuits, potential homelessness, and his family looking to him for immediate answers, Kevin took the radical position of stopping every effort to survive and resting instead at the feet of Jesus.
The process of living literally by faith is a gamble and one that only The Extravagant Fool for God is willing to take.
The Extravagant Fool is about encountering God with an uncommon intimacy. Intimacy increases our ability to discern His voice, which leads to the revelation of who we are, what we are to do for Him on earth, and finally, the provision to carry it out. Yet none of this really takes hold without first hearing the kind of living, breathing, testimony offered by The Extravagant Fool, a man who staked his welfare—and future—entirely on the goodness of God.

Inspirational, A tool to quicken even the strongest of believers
I am inspired to live a life that is more in tune to the voice of God and willing to step out in foolish faith for a God I know will provide. As I read this creatively written story my head filled with people I can't wait to share this book with. Many, if not most of those people are successful Christian business men who i know carry heavy weight on their holders that God Himself has covered if they would just trust and obey Him.
I believe readers will be as inspired as I am by this testimony that was compiled completely on faith. I know as I sit here and read it that God did provide and I have a fresh look at hardships. I have a me thought about the distortion between Christian living and living for Christ. There are incredible nuggets of wisdom that I highlighted and will return to as I step out in my own faith journey.
