Humbled at Our Lady of Hope

our lady of hope

What a fantastic Saturday, thanks to a wonderful group of people from Our Lady of Hope Parish in Clare, MI.  A big shout out to Donna and her team of ladies who arranged for me to present Finding Hope on Vegas to a large crowd.  During the presentation we discussed the types of prayer and how it is instrumental in helping people deal with life’s unexpected.

After the presentation the ladies provided a delightful brunch which allowed me to meet many people and hear their own touching stories.

As a bonus, I sold more than fifty Finding Hope on Vegas books.  I am humbled by such a response! God is good!   May the Good Lord continue to bless Our Lady of Hope Parish as they strive to bring others to Christ.

FINDING HOPE ON VEGAS POSTER 4

I couldn’t put the book down. I love how this mom tells her story of the accident and all the miracles & medicine that followed that kept her son alive. You will never doubt the power of prayer after reading this book. Have a tissue ready when you read it because you actually feeling like you are right there with her every step of the way.

A big shout out to Judy McKenna, Director of Nursing Education, for inviting me to come and speak with the Nursing students at Alma College.  Finding Hope on Vegas was a required read last fall for many students in the Alma Nursing program.  I can not wait to hear the students’ perspectives on the book and answer their questions.  Wish me luck!

From Journal to Book

I have been invited to speak by the Golden Agers about the events that inspired the book, Finding Hope on Vegas, tomorrow, Oct. 10, 2017, at the Sage Township Hall. If you have not heard about the story, come and join us as I summarize the miracles, support and love our family encountered on Aug. 9, 2014. It is an incredible story of faith, hope and love.

I will also touch on how my post traumatic stress journal became a book. Since I am not writer by nature, I consider the whole process from journal, to development, editing and publishing this book a small miracle all by itself.

I look forward to seeing you, and if you have not had a chance to get a copy I will have books available after the presentation.
