A remarkable account of miracles, angels, and life beyond this world

Author: Kevin & Alex Malarkey

Publisher: Tyndale House Publishers, Inc. 

Alex and his father, Kevin had gone to church one Sunday in 2004. After a wonderful service and a time of father/son adventure, they were involved in a terrible car accident while on the way home. Alex was 6 at the time. Because of his injuries, the doctors didn’t expect him to live. To everyone’s amazement, Alex awakes from a two month coma. After a short time, he is able to regain his ability to communicate. Alex tells of going to heaven, seeing events at the accident scene that he couldn’t have seen, since he was unconscious, talking to angels, and being with Jesus. 

From the time of the accident until today, there have been prayer teams praying for Alex and his family. Some of the strange things that have happen are shared. You will see how one young man has made an impact on so many people and still is. 

Kevin shares with us about his fears, shortcomings, shortage of time for other members of the family, and the way all this has affected his marriage. 

Alex’s main concern about publishing this book was to not make him, Alex, look good. He wanted God to be first. God should always be first.

I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars. A book review has been posted on Amazon.

I will definitely recommend this book to others.

Format: E-Book

Delivery is Diana Prusik’s debut novel. It takes place mostly at Wilson’s Florist in a small town called Mount Helicon. Livi is the older daughter of the owner and she works with her sister, Gretta and two other employees. A florist in a small town knows more news than the local paper. 

At first I found the story line hard to follow. There were a lot of flashbacks and it seemed that they would be back at the present when you thought they were still remembering. As tangled as the story line was this was a funny, entertaining, forgiving and also heartbreaking book. At times you were laughing and the next you needed a tissue. By the time I got really interested in the book it was over. I felt there was a lot of the story line left unfinished.  You were left wondering well what happened to so and so. I just felt the ending could have been a little clearer.

I gave this book 3 out of 5 stars.

I would like to thank Tyndale for proving me an electronic copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

Great News!!!!! I've been selected as a blogger for the Women of Faith Conference - Charlotte, NC

 

Escape from the everyday at a Women of Faith weekend and be refreshed, encouraged and inspired. 

Because the God who loves you can do far more than you can ever Imagine.

I am so excited!!!!

I received word this week that I had been selected as a BookSneeze Blogger to attend the Women of Faith Conference on September 23 & 24, 2011 at Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte, NC. 

I signed up for this when I received an e-mail from BookSneeze announcing they were offering some of their bloggers a chance to attend a Women of Faith weekend--Free! I haven't been able to attend one of these conferences before and decided to give it a try. With all of the other people that are on BookSneeze, I never dreamed that I would be selected to go. 

Scheduled at this conference are renowned speakers: Sheila Walsh, Luci Swindoll, Lisa Harper and Ken Davis; award-winning musical artists: Mary, Mary and Natalie Grant; drama by Nicole Johnson; best-selling authors: Henry Cloud and Karen Kingsbury; and so much more combine for a hope-filled event of encouragement and inspiration. 

My job for this is very simple. I have to post the Women of Faith badge on my blog and write about this event at least before and after the event. I have also posted an informational video.

BookSneeze and Women of Faith are a division of Thomas Nelson.
