Ten years ago, bestselling author David Manuel came within a millimeter of dying. That was how close the cancer came to escaping his kidney. The first morning he was home from the hospital, God spoke to him in his heart. They began a dialogue that has continued every day since. As God drew him ever closer, he realized that he had regained his first love of his heavenly Father. And he began showing others, how they could do the same.
Mr. Manuel, his wife, daughter, son-in-law (and three granddaughters) are resident members of an ecumenical religious community on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. There, in his lighthouse office at the first light of day he can be found at his computer - except on mornings when he leads a writing workshop, encouraging other would-be authors to believe the dream and persevere.
