Frederick J. Eikerenkoetter II - commonly referred to as Reverend Ike - recently passed away on July 28th at the age of 74, after complications from a stroke he suffered two years ago.
Many people may not know this, but Reverend Ike was, in fact, multiracial - part African-American, and part Dutch-Indonesian.
Regardless of how you feel about him and his ministry, one thing that was evident about Reverend Ike was how much of a pioneer and trailblazer he was in the self-help movement.
Here's an interesting YouTube clip of an excerpt from one of his sermons during the 1970's (entitled "You Deserve The Best!"), during which he talks about how our thoughts and feelings dictate our personal growth and development.
His "Science of Living" (also known as "Thinkanomics") is very reminiscent of similar philosophies shared by Napoleon Hill ("Think And Grow Rich"), Norman Vincent Peale ("The Power of Positive Thinking"), and Rhonda Byrne ("The Secret").
Cowards die many times before their deaths.
