Rich Ronald has always had a shepherd’s heart. He spent a career in the business world, where he often found himself caring and praying for his colleagues. He then transferred to full-time ministry, serving as a pastor at Oak Hills Church in San Antonio, Texas and NewPointe Church in Dover, Ohio.<\/p>\n
Rich now works alongside ministry leaders to help them execute the vision God has given them. He and his wife, Linda, also serve regularly in a marriage ministry in Georgia.<\/p>\n
Praying the Psalms<\/strong> is Rich’s third devotional book.
