David A. Redding

David and I were members of the Navy V-12 unit at Western Michigan College in 1944. We also attended Columbia Univ. Midshipman school. Not many of our group left. Godspeed Dave!

I remember being so excited when Dr. Redding was going to preach at the Flagler Memorial Presbyterian Church! I was a young girl then, but knew when great talent was going to be on the pulpit! As well, my brother and I were fortunate enough to have one of his sons (sorry, I can't remember if it was David or Mark!) babysit for us! I still have such fond memories of Dr. Redding! Heaven truly has a new Angel now.

We met David in the mid-70s and throughout the years his character always reflected love, acceptance, and the positive. He and Dee truly touched our lives and we are grateful to have known them. Through his books we'll hear his message many times again.
Our condolence to the family who was so fortunate to call him their own.

David married my first husband and me in 1984 in my home in Columbus,Ohio.When his son,John, and I were in the same Hospital at the same time in 1989,David would stop by and see me everyday with very encouraging words and get well prayers. He is remembered fondly and my sympathy to his family.

David Redding was one of a kind, a nonpareil; a brilliant writer and speaker whose likes will rarely be seen again. We first met him when he was pastor at Liberty Presbyterian Church. His sermons and his stories were spellbinding, often holding the congregation on the edge of it's seat and, many times, bringing the audience to laughter or tears.

He was a visionary. His decision to build an Amish barn was the capstone of his ministry. The church is now a landmark and tourism...

His sermons were nothing short of sensational, as he often held the congregation on the edge of it's seats, many times bringing the audience to laughter or tears. His decision to build an Amish barn to serve the rapidly expanding Liberty family was visionary. It is now a landmark.

David helped me thru a difficult time in my life. that I will never forget. He gave me so much inspiration, guideance,and friendship. I will miss him very much.
