And I Was Delivered from the Lion’s Mouth: The Lauren Worley Story

by Chris Worley

At just 17 years old, Lauren Worley’s life should have ended in that curve on a country road—trapped in a mangled car, struck head-on by a drunk driver, her body broken, her brain severely injured. Left with a 1% chance of survival. First responders weren’t sure if she would make it to hospital. But God had a different plan. In a moment that changed everything, a community dropped to its knees in prayer—and heaven responded. Lauren’s fight for life was nothing short of miraculous. Sixty-three days in the hospital and several months of rehab. She suffered a traumatic brain injury, stroke, and long list of injuries. A long and painful road to recovery. And yet, through it all, God’s hand never let go. “And I Was Delivered from the Lion’s Mouth” is the unforgettable true story of survival, faith, and the undeniable power of God to save and heal. Told through the eyes of her father who refused to stop believing, this book is both a personal testimony and a miracles still happen. If you’ve ever stood at the edge of hope… If you’ve ever begged God for a miracle… This story is for you.
