“I recommend this book! Pastor Bob Rieth’s Media Fellowship International stood for
inclusion and against structural racism. MFI modelled an equitable multiracial America.”
—DARIN VINCENT POULLARD, pastor, Fort Washington Baptist Church
“The heartfelt testimonies in this tribute to the late Pastor Bob Rieth provide an inspiring picture of a man whose ministry to the entertainment world offered a truly
inclusive gospel that cut across barriers of race, class, and religious background. Bob
Rieth exemplifies the kind of servant leadership modeled by Jesus himself.”
