I have always believed in God and the miracles that He performs daily. I just never thought I would be the recipient of one of those miracles! I like to classify these miracles as two separate entities: “Divine healing,” after something is already there and then suddenly disappears, and “Divine intervention,” something is found when looking for something else and is fixed, therefore saving a life—the latter being my case. I feel like God saved me for a reason, and that reason is to bring others closer, or “back” to Him, hence the reason I felt led to write this book.
