The Impossible

by Joyce Smith, Unknown Author

The Impossible shares a true story of a family's son who died and was astonishingly brought back to life, demonstrating prayer's immediate and potent influence. Despite years of hardship and loss, God was preparing the Smiths for an extraordinary event - their son's resurrection. After Joyce Smith's 14-year-old son John fell into an icy Missouri lake one winter morning, his family believed they had lost everything. At the hospital, John remained lifeless for over an hour. However, Joyce refused to abandon her son. She gathered her faith and strength, crying out to God to save him. Miraculously, John's heart began beating again. In the following days, he defied medical experts, case histories, and scientific predictions. Sixteen days after his fall, John walked out of the hospital, fully healed, after being clinically dead for an hour. The Impossible reveals a profound prayer truly works. God uses it to remind us of His constant presence, and when combined with unyielding faith, nothing is impossible.

About the author

JOYCE SMITH was born in Wichita, Kansas, but because of her father's work for a tool and die company, she grew up in Ohio and lived in eight different states as well as Canada and Germany. She worked for 25 years in accounting, but feels her biggest accomplishment has been as a wife and mother--one of the toughest jobs, with the lowest pay but the most rewards of any job on the face of the earth. She and her husband Brian (her "Prince Charming") live in St. Charles, Missouri. They have four wonderful sons and five beloved grandchildren. Joyce keeps busy with school and basketball, enjoys cross stitch, crochet, and decorating, and loves speaking to audiences about what God has done for her family...and continues to do.
