患血癌隆梅爾牧師挖空心思為他兩個即將離巢的兒子寫這本書。他說它花費他許多歲月去研讀， 默想，禱告， 實踐，也就是投入他畢生心血寫了這書。許多人聽說他這項工程， 希望他能出版， 于是他稍改寫以下，排成他要提醒他孩子和孫子的34個主題世上所有的年輕朋友。他本著聖經原則，給予年輕人實際有智慧的教導， 題目從信仰，品德，對付罪到錢財管理，伴侶選擇等，不僅年輕人該讀，更是為人父母該讀的，它幫助我們知道在何方面教導提醒我們的孩子。在本書中，他說他不期望有人寫一本談論他的書，為此了一句讓父母扎心的話：「兒啊，因為你們就是我現成的書」，如保羅所說：「你們就是我的薦信」。讀書如讀人，孩子就是我們的書，我們該怎樣寫這本書呢？

我們有幸參加隆梅爾牧師牧養的四方教會四年了， 連我們七八歲的孩子聽他講道都聽得津津有味，常在飯桌上提出牧師講道中提到的故事。這些年的結論就是隆梅爾牧師真是愛主的牧師。 我們都會唱他最愛唱的歌"He is Good"， 要成為全教會上下都喜歡的牧師不容易， 但隆梅爾牧師就是這樣的牧師。 來訪的講員或客人都對他夫婦印象深刻， 因他總是最熱誠招待：安排住最好的飯店， 吃最爽口的食物， 連客房內都留下附帶?馨字句的點心或沖洗好的相關照片。他牧養的四方教會，從30年前的 十多人到如今的一萬多人... 他還寫了十來本書， 最近一本"Right With God"被選為美國2003年主題書 （因多起美國公司和個人賬目不清醜聞，布希總統訂2003 年為正義年) 。聽起來他像是一個精力充沛的壯年人，而他是一個從三十六歲就患血癌，到 5-30-2003他安息主懷，在世59年， 讓人懷念不已。此書有許多他生命中真實的經歷，周遭小故事及神的話語， 這些 從神而來的智慧，這正是你在隆梅爾牧師的書中可找到的。

This book is the heart-to-heart talk every father desires to have with a son or daughter about to leave the nest. "Just in Case I Can't Be There" was originally written for Pastor Ron Mehl's two sons, but people began asking for a copy. He then changed the format of the book into the current format, where he offers Biblical counsel in thirty-four chapters in a manner that is wise, winsome, and practical. Dealing with diverse issues about faith and integrity ranging from choosing a mate to managing finances, the wisdom contained in these pages will offer encouragement, boost confidence, and provide guidance for years to come. This is the one book that no young person should be without. Also this is a book every father should have as a reference in order to give wise counsel to their sons and daughter.
We have been blessed to be able to attend Pastor Ron Mehl's church, the Beaverton Foursquare Church, for four years. My children, starting from the age of 7, like to listen to his sermons and often repeat the stories he tells in his sermons. Our conclusion for Pastor Ron Mehl is that he is a pastor who loves the Lord with his whole heart. It is not easy to be a pastor loved by the whole church. However, Pastor Ron is this kind of person. Visiting speakers were very impressed by the hospitality he and his wife shows. They arranged for the visitors to stay in the best hotel, eat the most delicious food, provide snacks or developed photos for the visitors, etc. In addition to pastoring a church of more than 10,000 members （30 years ago, there were only a dozen people when he first started to pastor this church), Pastor Ron Mehl had also written more than 10 books. One of the books, "Right With God," was selected as the theme book of 2003's National Day of Prayer (due to the scandals of corporations and individuals, President Bush proclaimed the year 2003 as the year of righteousness). It may sound like Pastor Ron was an energetic middle-aged man, but he is actually a grandfather with gray hair and has had leukemia since he was 36 years old. On May 30, 2003, he came to rest in the Lord's bosom at the age of 59. We all miss him.
