The Great Rescue considers the true meaning of being saved an event that serves as a spiritual rescue. Author Jeff Schmidt was living the biker lifestyle, heavily addicted to drugs and alcohol. He had forsaken God in favor of what the world had to offer. Inevitably, it was what the world had to offer that almost destoyed his life. Hopeless and depressed, Jeff began to search for an answer to his troubles. While driving during the Christmas of 1995, he accidentally tuned into a Christian radio program. The preacher on the radio talked about the mercy of God and a restoration that could be found through faith in Jesus Christ.

Desperately in need, he pleaded with God for help and gave his life to Christ right then and there. True to His word, God forgave him and rebuilt Jeff's life; he became a new man, free of his addictions to alcohol and drugs and full of hope and joy. Jeff's calling now is to share the good news of the importance of being saved with everyone.

In The Great Rescue, he thoroughly explains the meaning of salvation and how to be saved from the demise that awaits every man and woman on earth. From understanding the meaning of the wages of sin to knowing what each of us must do to be saved, he opens the door to salvation for all who quest for a life full of God's love and mercies through faith in Jesus Christ.
