Bad to the Bone - Softcover

The stories of fifteen biblical heroes written for today's teens. Introduces the fresh message that youth can devote themselves to Christ and live lives that go against the grain from what they see and hear around them.

Miles McPherson is president and founder of Miles Ahead Ministries and speaks to hundreds of thousands of teens and adults each year. A former defensive back with the San Diego Chargers, Miles is a nationally known evangelist and the founder of The Rock Church, which meets at San Diego University. Miles and his wife make their home in San Diego with their three children. In his ministry Miles has talked to young people from all walks of life--one-on-one and in youth rallies of thousands. He knows what makes them tick, especially rebellious teenagers. That's because he was one. As a junior in high school, Miles started smoking marijuana, which lead to cocaine use as a rookie in the NFL. In 1984, however, he committed his life to the Lord. From that point on, he was delivered from his drug habit, stopped using foul language, and was reunitd with his girlfriend, Debbie, who is now his wife. After earning a Master of Divinity from Azusa Pacific University, Miles began his ministry and is now a featured speaker at some of the nation's largest youth and adult events. His Miles Ahead Crusades, which target unsaved teenagers, have been used to bring over twenty-seven thousand young people to Christ since 1996.
