Synopsis

“Dad, Mom what do you think about me trying to be a volunteer firefighter?”I wanted to shout, “You’ve got to be kidding! You’re just recovering from years of battling Crohn’s disease!”Before I could voice my heart, my husband Tom calmly asked, “Son, does the Fire Chief know you have Crohn’s disease?”Experience the pain of watching Paul walk away from faith, and then hearing his diagnosis of Crohn’s disease at the young age of twenty-three. As the pursuing years unfold, he undergoes experimental attempts to save his life, and spiritual struggles persist for his whole family.But when Paul’s resilient “I can deal with anything” personality disappears, he loses everything of material value and begins entertaining the idea that his family would be better off without him. Through difficult times filled with doubt, Paul’s story tells of moments of rejoicing when miraculous events take place at the exact times he and his family need them most.Journey with his mom, Pamela, as she travels back to Paul’s growing years that evolved him into a popular, fun-loving, eager young man, and discover why Joshua 1:9 became the life verse that prompted and fueled The Fires Within Paul Bush and gave him the strength he needed to keep fighting through adversity.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Pamela was born and raised in Michigan. She came from a family of six kids, but her oldest sister, Marilyn, died at the age of four months before Pamela was born. She graduated from Thornapple Kellogg School in Middleville. When Pamela was around twelve she began dreaming of being a published author. She loved reading, but never had the confidence to follow through in writing. Time went on, Pamela got married to her wonderful husband, Tom, and they had two children. Then, something happened to change the course of their lives. A friend was killed in a drunk driving auto accident which prompted them to rethink the direction of their lives. So, they began attending a local church and one Sunday evening knelt to ask Christ to come into their lives and take charge. That was Sept. 7, 1975 and what a roller coaster ride the Lord has had them on since then! One year later, Tom began attending a Bible School in Grand Rapids; and in June 1980, the couple joined their first mission to be foreign missionaries in South America. They've been in full time ministry ever since. From 1980 until Fall of 2001, Pam and Tom served with various missions in Mexico, Bolivia, and in the States. Then Pamela developed some medical issues, so they left missionary status to take a full time pastorate at a country church in Michigan. By that time, their two children met their future spouses and got married. Pamela now has six beautiful grandchildren - the oldest two in their 20's, the next two are 8, plus we they have a 7 and 6 year old. That breaks down to - four girls and two boys. Then in June 2004, son Paul’s colon ruptured due to complications from Crohn's disease and Pamela’s life turned another direction. For the first time in her Christian walk, she struggled with God over the issue of bad things happening to good people. Those thoughts prompted her to read the Old Testament Book of Job That study prompted the writing of this - her first fiction novel - OUT OF THE WHIRLWIND; which also began the Whirlwind Series of which she now has three in the series. Sept.2014 her stand-alone fiction novel was published entitled - "Finding Joshua".
