This is the fourth book that I have read written by this author. One of the books was a fiction novel, but the other three have been stories of true rescue calls that the author has helped in. Some of these stories are a lot bit funny, like the time they left one of the team members at the location because they forgot her. Then there are stories that encourages the reader and helps them remember that miracles are possible. I am glad that the author includes stories about patients who don’t recover( not that I am happy the patients die) because it shows that stories are real and that most of these patients whose stories are told are in Heaven with Our Heavenly Father. It is inspirational to read these patients stories of how they never doubt their faith. There are also stories of abuse such as the one lady whose husband pushed her down the steps, and I admit I was happy that he was caught and arrested. My favorite story in this collection is the one about the person that had to have both legs amputated. I am not glad that he had to have that done but I was actually rejoicing at the end of that story. I can’t tell you why, you will have to read the book yourself and then you can rejoice also.

I received a complimentary copy from the author and Celebrate Lit and these opinions are my own.

Miracles Exist

Miracles exist. They surround us. Just open your heart and mind to the presence of God to observe them. How do I know miracles exist? I’ve witnessed them.

I’ve been a volunteer emergency medical technician on my local first aid squad for 35 years. I joined in high school, and I’ve been blessed to be answering calls ever since. During my time with the squad, I’ve answered over 9,000 first aid and fire calls. I’ve witnessed miracles and answered prayers. I’ve shared in some people’s faith-filled last minutes on earth. I relate some of these experiences in my books, At Heaven’s EdgeOn Heaven’s Doorstep, and Help from Heaven. My fourth book, Heaven-Sent Miracles and Rescues, will be released November 1, 2022.

I recently had the honor of being a guest on two episodes of “At Home with Jim and Joy” on EWTN. During the shows, I shared stories of faith and miraculous rescues that I’ve witnessed on emergency calls. If you’d like to hear about them, you can watch the episodes at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqylPNYpsbI(Part 1) and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diedm4TelrM(Part 2).

Rescue personnel are with people and their families during times of unimaginable crises. I’ve seen firsthand how God’s handiwork puts people in the right place at the right time to create miracles. Sometimes, God miraculously rescues people. Other times, He leads them home to Him. As volunteer ETMs, we are blessed to help others in their time of need.

Sometimes, we take our health for granted. People don’t normally think about EMS until they need their services. First responders are in the unique position of being able to serve others when they need help. Being a volunteer EMT allows me to act out my faith by being a Good Samaritan.

Some question if miracles exist anymore. They do. Have faith and place your trust in God.
