"It's God's Word: You Can Count on It"

Those words echo in the memories of all who listened to Dr. Richard Strauss. His sincere manner of speech would ring with heartfelt conviction when he reassured people that the Bible is God’s inerrant Word "...and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work" (2 Tim. 3:16-17).

During his 60 years, Richard Strauss loved God, and he loved to study His Word. He spent hours each week poring over the Bible, allowing the Holy Spirit to teach him so that he could teach others. Through his sermons, books and tapes, Dr. Strauss made God’s eternal message relevant to thousands of people worldwide. He had a special gift for making the Bible come alive in a practical way.
