It's Hip To Help The Homeless
By Richard G. Tripp    
"Please Underestimate Me"

       The new book by Richard G Tripp, tells the story of a man that has
taken the lemons of his life and made lemon-aid out of them.  His life story
proves that anyone that wants to make a difference in their life can, and
they can also change the lives of others regardless of their circumstances.  
He has learned that being a blessing to others is the ultimate experience to
be cherished.

        In his book Richard tells you a story of what one person can do to
change the suffering of those hurting.  In the following pages he shows you
the impact one person can have on a community. Richard Tripp went
through hell, and at the end of the trip he found God.  Or perhaps it was the
other way around?  God found Richard.

        The story of Richard's journey from homeless and hopeless alcoholic
to one of our leading advocates for the poor and disadvantaged is a great
American success story.  This is not the rags-to- riches story of a self-made
tycoon.  It is much more.  

        It's the story of how a man found his life by nearly losing it and then
devoted that life to the service of others.  Richard's story is filled with
lessons about servant leadership, and reading it will inspire you to more
effectively take up the challenge of service to others.  This book will make
you laugh and make you cry, but most of all it will inspire you to become the
person God intends for you to be.  The way Richard Tripp is becoming the
person that God intended for him to be.
Richard's family:

Mom - Betty and Step-Dad - Henry
Daughters - Joyce, Dawn and Christina, and
son - Richard Gene, II.
