Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you", declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future".
"Why Am I Alive" is the embodiment of that biblical truth!!! This edge-of-your-seat book is a must read! The real-life, near-death experiences, that have been so vividly painted that it comes alive with it all the sights and sounds as though you are watching a movie. And the description of the internal struggles to understand "Why Am I Alive" are words that will resonate the hearts and souls of many of us on this journey called life and it will certainly capture your attention, begging the question that each of us need to ask, "Why Am I Alive?" -Maria Vazquez
