"Conspiracy of Grace is riveting, real, fun, and powerful." -D. Streeter
A conspiracy is normally a plot to bring someone down, but God conspires amazing
plans for our good. Dale’s story displays this truth vividly and with humor.
About Conspiracy of Grace
Conspiracy of Grace: A Wild Tale of Transformation
From the Mafia to the ministry, a wild ride of a story.
Struggling and persistently fighting against family put-downs and abuse of every kind turned Dale Fiegland into a gun-
toting, knife-wielding, Mafia runner addicted to alcohol and drugs—the kind of man God loves to get ahold of and
change. When Dale finally stopped fighting God and asked Him for help, miraculous events followed that can only be
called a Conspiracy of Grace.
This winsome, true story—touched with humor—is shared in plainspoken style by a pastor/counselor unlike any you may
have met. Dale’s story helps lift the spiritual veil, enabling readers to see how God works amid life’s gritty, hard-hitting
realities. This book will engage and delight you and may challenge some of your ideas about God and faith.
Dale’s bumpy ride held many surprises. He learned, with the help of God, AA, and his quirky sponsor, Bob, how to have
a relationship with God, find enjoyable sobriety, and grow in simple lessons like telling the truth no matter what. It took
Dale even longer, and a few crazy events, to agree with God’s incredible plan that he was to be a pastor.

Dale Fiegland’s short bio
Born and raised in northern Ohio, Dale Fiegland graduated from Anderson College, taught in the inner-city schools of
Cleveland, and attained success in business, even as his life spun out of control.
Eventually, God blessed Dale with many miracles, including a new, transformed life; an incredible ability to help
struggling people find hope; convinced him to become a pastor; and enabled him to complete a master of arts degree in
counseling from Liberty University. All of this culminated in a remarkable twenty-five year ministry as counseling pastor
at Riverside Church in Fort Myers, Florida, where he specialized in assisting those dealing with drug or alcohol addictions
or various forms of abuse. In addition, numerous churches, through the years, have sought his help as a consultant in
handling difficult matters.
After being bestowed with the title of pastor emeritus, and retiring from Riverside, Dale has continued to provide
counseling to the hurting. Since retiring in 2012, he has continued to provide assistance to many for another ten years (and
counting).
