Tell Them! is the honest life story of a man who grew up with very little, faced instability at home, and learned early what responsibility really means. Henry Ridner recounts his journey from a troubled home filled with poverty, fear, and a dysfunctional family structure to the moment he decided to take a different path by serving in the military. His adventures took him around the world from the Caribbean to Spain to remote islands in the Pacific, learning discipline, leadership skills, and how to be a man on his own. This is not just a story about serving in the military. This is a story about what came after. Henry writes about the ups and downs in his personal life and about the faith that still guided him through uncertain times. It was this faith that eventually led him into missionary work, helping build churches and working alongside people in places most people will never go. From the jungles of Nicaragua to the cities of South America, from small villages to remote islands, he recounts real-life experiences, some of which were risky, unexpected, and quite impactful. However, through all these, there is one thing that remains the same: his firm belief that he was never walking alone. It is a tale about endurance, second chances, and staying steady in the midst of chaos. It is a book for those who have come from a rough background, for those seeking direction, and for those who believe that their life still has the potential for something bigger.
