On October 26, 2019 I was dead!

I suffered a massive cardiac arrest. My heart stopped beating, my breathing ceased, and the medics couldn’t revive me. I was clinically dead for more than 30 minutes. And then, miraculously, the paramedics detected a heartbeat. As I lay in my bed in the ICU, I wrestled with a big question that went around and around in my mind: “Why am I still alive?” The answer, I believe, was divinely inspired. God wanted me to share with you the treasures He had given me in the darkness, during a period of unbelievable catastrophic suffering. God brought me back from the dead to tell you about the mystery of his ways through suffering and his purpose for my life. This was my inspiration for Living Hope, and I pray it will inspire you in your life.

From what I have experienced over the last 60 years - the highs and the lows - I am going to tell you how God prepared me for my purpose, and, as shrouded in mystery as it is, I pray my story will help you in your own life, to discover your purpose.

From the depths of my soul, after all I have journeyed through, I pray that you will be inspired and encouraged. May the treasures and insights in Living Hope help awaken faith, peace, and purpose in all you are journeying through.
