I was out to sea, five hundred miles from help when I experienced a life-threatening illness. I had no choice but to depend upon God for my life. This book gives an account of my journey from near-death on-board ship in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean through fear and darkness, to trust and healing. I learned how to fight for healing and restoration using body, mind, and spirit. I depended upon God and came through my experience with grace. Like Job, I was able to say after my ordeal, "I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, but now my eyes see You." (Job, Chpt. 42:5 Bible, New King James Version)

God took me on a journey into troubled waters and through the valley of the shadow of death. All the while He was with me to help. He never left my side. This story chronicles the adventure we shared. "I would have lost heart unless I had believed." (Ps. 27: 13)
