Reinhold Schultz: From Despair to Redemption
While this wonderful trophy of redeeming grace walks the earth, no living man amenable to the appeal of appreciable, tangible results can reasonably doubt the power of god to save and keep even the vilest of the vile.
Imagine losing everything you once valued, only to find a path to redemption in the most unexpected place. That's exactly what happened to Reinhold Schultz, whose story is highlighted in chapter 14 of Philip Ilott Roberts' 'Dry Dock of a Thousand Wrecks'. Born in Germany with every advantage, Schultz's life took a dark turn when he arrived in New York, becoming a barroom loafer lost in addiction. But his story doesn't end there.
Through the Jerry McAuley Mission, Schultz experienced a profound transformation. This episode captures his journey from the depths of despair to becoming a man of righteous living and good citizenship, all through the power of faith in Jesus Christ. Listeners will be moved by the raw honesty of Schultz's struggles and inspired by his ultimate redemption.
Whether you're seeking hope for yourself or someone you care about, this episode is a testament to the life-changing impact of faith and community support.
