In this final installment of The Cowboy Preacher Series, Monty relies on God to carry him through many dark and challenging times. How will Monty survive single parenting while suffering a broken heart, a broken body and going broke? In Restoring Eli, read how God rewards Monty — or Eli, his new spiritual name — with grace and faithfulness. Like the Bible’s account of Job, Monty experiences God restoring him to a new, loving marriage while he leads many others through demonic oppression, healing and a saving faith in Jesus Christ.

Monty Rieck knows trouble. Before becoming a minister of Christ, he chased all the world had to offer, leaving him desperate for answers. Little did he know, he was the one being pursued. Despite suffering financial loss, emotional heartbreak and physical pain, he finally found what he was looking for, which changed everything, including his identity.

Monty Rieck, son of 1968 Super Stock Car Drag Racing champion William Rieck, grew up with dreams of being a professional rodeo cowboy. But God had other plans. Today, Monty is an ordained minister living in Santa Barbara, California with his wife Heidi.
