Riding Stubborn MulesWhat Life’s Detours Teach Us About Ourselves
Life rarely moves in a straight line. We make plans, set goals, and imagine how the next chapter will unfold. Then something refuses to cooperate.
Life Lessons, Stories, and the Grace That Found Me
Craig Marlatt did not begin his life on a platform or behind a microphone. His turning point came inside a jail cell, where he discovered the life-changing love of Jesus Christ. Today, Craig Marlatt shares his music, stories, and testimony with people across the world, reminding them that God can reach us anywhere, even in the moments we least expect.
Craig Marlatt has spent nearly five decades speaking, singing, and sharing the message of hope and redemption. Since 1976, he has visited prisons, jails, churches, streets, and communities across America and in places such as Asia, Russia, Mexico, Ecuador, and the Caribbean.
His faith began to grow in 1969 while he was incarcerated. In 1974, during another time in a Florida jail, his commitment to Christ deepened and set the course for the rest of his life. Craig Marlatt eventually stepped into full-time ministry, determined to help others find the same grace that had transformed him.
He has been married to his wife for 47 years, and their life together reflects endurance, faith, humor, and trust in God through every season.
Things I Learned While Riding Mules brings together stories, lessons, and reflections gathered from real experiences, difficult days, mistakes, and unexpected blessings. Craig Marlatt writes with honesty and humor, offering insights shaped by both hardship and grace.
These stories reveal the heart of someone who has seen God work in ordinary moments and in unlikely places. The book encourages readers to pause, laugh, reflect, and recognize the steady hand of God throughout life.
If you are looking for encouragement or a reminder that God never gives up on people, this book will speak to you.
