"""I loved RC's powerful stories in Unconventional Faith. Well-thought-out points to consider and questions to ponder in each chapter make it an exceptional source for individual growth or as a guide for small groups to study and stimulate real conversation."" --Chris Lawhon, worship leader, Tehachapi Vineyard Church ""When R. C. Linthicum Jr. was asked by Mother Teresa on two different occasions, 'Do you love Jesus?' little did he know how his life's story and God's gospel story were about to converge. Through an unexpected encounter with a young child, Bob's life would be transformed, and in the process, become the answer to Mother Teresa's question. Do YOU love Jesus? Pause and read Unconventional Faith before declaring your answer."" --Steve Metcalf, pastor emeritus, La Verne Heights Presbyterian Church ""In the final chapter of Unconventional Faith, you will read how RC connected with a group of tough street kids like me and forever impacted our lives. What I enjoyed most about this book were his riveting stories which he used to tell us when we hung out together."" --Triny Garcia, healthcare worker ""I loved RC's powerful stories in Unconventional Faith.
