March 22, 1996, a car accident left me comatose and on life support, forcing my parents to make the impossible decision to disconnect the machine keeping me alive and donate my organs. I recall, with shocking clarity, my desperation to communicate that I still lived inside my paralyzed body. I felt the sharp prick of the needle as they prepared to harvest my organs.Even more significant than my journey from coma to recovery is the miracle God wrought in my prideful and stubborn heart. Before the accident, my life was on a trajectory typical to man. I desired comfort, pleasure, power, and the respect that accompanied wealth. I was an athlete, had a promising career ahead of me, and I was engaged to the girl of my dreams, but I didn't account for God. This is a story about shattered dreams and getting up again. It's about hidden pride and anger. It is about tragedy, pain, and how a man might plan his steps, but the Lord determines his path. The Greater Miracle is an intriguing blend of misfortune and hope that reveals a God who will do whatever it takes to capture the heart of his wandering child. Readers will connect with my anger toward God, my fierce determination, and my spiritual brokenness that worldly success couldn't heal. This compact book will appeal to those who need to hear there is hope in every struggle, who desire to learn from someone who has overcome, and who want to be inspired to do the same.The Greater Miracle is an 8730 word inspirational true story that fits in the inspirational-rue story categories and shares some similarities with Wrestling with an Angel: A Story of Love, Disability, and the Lessons of Grace by Greg Lucas. The Greater Miracle is short, challenging, and gospel-centered. It would rival Kindle Singles as an e-book or a Kindle Short Read. In six powerful chapters, I relive the car accident that changed my life and the impossible choice facing my parents (ch 1). I transparently speak of my pride and arrogance that refused to consider God's existence (ch 1), my second chance at life, my humble attempts at learning to pray, and common barriers to faith (ch 2), God's relentless pursuit of his people and how surrendering to God does not guarantee a change in circumstances (ch 3), longings the physical world cannot satisfy (ch 4), and the Lord's will for every believer ending with a call on the reader to respond (ch 5).
