"The first time I met Mike Lindell was at a National Prayer Breakfast event, and it was his voice that I recognized. His "MyPillow" commercials were everywhere -- you couldn't turn on the TV without seeing him. In fact, after I bowed out of the 2016 presidential race and endorsed Donald Trump, I mentioned Mike and his pillow company to then-candidate Trump. "That guy is on television more than anyone I've ever seen," Trump said, "including me." MyPillow is the most successful direct marketing product in the history of America. You don't have to know its inventor very long to see why. Mike Lindell is a natural marketer and entrepreneur. God gives everyone special gifts, but He also places challenges in our way to make us stronger. Some people meet these challenges head-on, right away, inspiring us all. Others take a "broken road", inspiring us all the more by overcoming not only external challenges , but perhaps the greatest obstacle of all -- themselves. Mike is that kind of story. Gambling addiction seized him while he was still a teenager. In his 20s, he became a frequent cocaine user and then an addict. When crack cocaine came on the scene in the late 1990s, Mike swore he would never use it. But he broke that vow and when he did, crack took him down fast. Together, Mike's cocaine, crack, and gambling addictions would drive him into the darkest corners of America, bankrupt his family, ruin his marriage, and nearly take his life. But even as he was in the depths of despair, God inspired a dream, and MyPillow was born. At first, Mike thought his company would be a way to support his family. But over time, God showed him that the company was really a tool Mike could use to share his own story of hope and recover. What Are the Odds? is a testimonial about the power of a dream. It is about a man who went about as far down as a human being can go, but came out clean and sober on the other side. It's a story about failure, success, humility, courage -- and ultimately, hope." - excerpt from the Foreword by Ben Carson, M.D.
