Once a junior high wrestling champion, high school quarterback, collegiate soccer stand-out, and seasoned trial attorney, Andrew was accustomed to winning. At the age of 45, he found himself divorced, estranged from his son, and strung out on drugs and alcohol. Andrew’s winning ways were long gone; in fact, he did jail time in the very county in which he once successfully practiced law. He even failed at committing suicide. He was broken, hopeless, seemingly beyond redemption, and utterly alone in a prison of his own design.
Finally, he surrendered.
His surrender resulted in mercy, grace, peace, and salvation by his savior, Jesus Christ, whom he came to know intimately and personally. Andrew’s experience of the Lord, His miracles, His blessings, and how He chose to reveal himself are the “body” of this work. Andrew’s trust in Him – divine trust in the truth, the life, and the way – has led to this true story in which the supernatural transcends logic, the uncommon becomes common, and so-called coincidence is shown to be His perfect timing.
When the author is not engaged in ministry (recovery meetings, prayer meetings, and Bible study), visiting local churches, or guest-speaking from the pulpit or classroom, he can be found cooking up a storm in the kitchen, walking 18 holes on the nearest golf course, or playing a mean game of cards, all while spending time with close friends and family. He remains ever grateful for the selfless men and women who helped him along the journey to recovery and salvation.
