Gratitude comes from the idea of grace, "grata" in Latin. Grace is the "unmerited love and favor of God toward man." So, gratitude is "a feeling of thankful appreciation for favors or benefits received." Thanks is "the expression of gratitude; grateful acknowledgment of something received by or done for one."

In Extreme Gratitude, Rick lays a foundation of:

-the extreme ("exceeding abundantly") grace we have received
-the extreme God (Creator and Sustainer of all that is, yet willing to take on human form to restore --the relationship we broke with Him) Who has blessed us
- the extreme life He enables us to live (beyond the righteousness of the religious)
-the extreme compass of His purpose (to use all things to bring glory to Himself, and mold us in the image of Christ)

Rick challenges Christians to respond with the extreme thanks that His lavish grace deserves from us (giving thanks always for all things).

"As a human being giving thanks can be the most difficult thing, we do. Giving thanks to God in every experience in life is one of the most important indicators of spiritual maturity. This book will give reasons for giving thanks, examples of giving thanks, and results for giving thanks. You will read many real-life experiences and find a sure scriptural foundation for being a thankful person. As you finish the book and read his conclusion, you will find yourself better equipped to give thanks in all things. You will be thankful that you can give thanks."-Jim Hylton, Staff Pastor, Northwood Church, Keller, Texas

Raised in a Christian family, Rick believed the things he was taught and sought to live for the Lord from a young age. Believing the best way to do this was in the ministry, he pursued studies at Louisiana College and Southwestern Seminary. God's plan was a little different, apparently wanting to show that His Word applies to normal, everyday people, and not just those "in the ministry." The God Who lives in and teaches "the most eminent apostles" also lives in and teaches the "nobody."

Rick's career path is varied. While in school, he served in a variety of church and ministry positions. Since then, he's worked a variety of jobs from drug rehab counselor to Christian retail, from church janitor to sales for a major Christian record company to owning his own business to working for a big-box retailer. His role in church life through the years has been varied as well, serving as a deacon, Sunday School teacher, and home church leader.

He is a certified professional photographer, having owned his own studio for 17 years and served as president of two professional photography organizations. He is currently on the board of directors for 21st Century Santa, a Christian-owned non-profit charity that provides disaster relief and serves the needs of special needs children and their families.
Rick and his wife, Trish, have four children, eleven grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren.
