A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

One family’s ordeal becomes a journey of faith. “Lord, give Matt a road-to-Damascus experience, so he will come to know you.” This was the sincere prayer that Glen Robinson uttered on behalf of his son Matt – a young man whose life seemed to be heading in the wrong direction, away from the values he learned while growing up. Then came the phone call that is every parent’s worst nightmare. “Matt’s been in a terrible accident!” A high-speed collision on a Texas highway left Matt battered, bleeding, and unconscious. Devastated, Matt’s parents and sister struggled to grasp the doctor’s grim diagnosis: traumatic brain injury. None of the prospects looked good. Matt could die. What if Matt awoke but could never speak again or function mentally? Would their once healthy, intelligent son have to live with them as an invalid the rest of his life? Word of Matt’s accident quickly spread...and with it, a prayer chain that stretched across the miles. Glen’s own prayers were now a desperate plea for healing. But his greatest struggle was to let go and leave Matt in the Lord’s hands. Could this hurting father say, “Thy will be done” – and really mean it? The life lessons in this true drama leap from the pages in stunning clarity. What the Robinsons learned about prayer, themselves, and the mysteries of Providence will give you courage to face your greatest trials and to hope in God’s sustaining grace.
