When I was in high school, my English teachers always required us to keep up with a daily journal. And I didn't like it at all. When we asked why we had to submit a journal, they said, "You need a record of things you did in your life and dates and such." We questioned why. She said, "You might want to write a book one day about your life, and you will have everything you need about your history in your journal." I said that will never happen! But look at me now. I am writing a book! This is basically an autobiography with an emphasis on Jesus in my life. I haven't always followed Jesus as I should have. I never stopped believing, but when I was younger, it wasn't a priority in my life. As I got older and closer to Jesus, I could see where he was with me in my life, and I didn't even realize he was there. He never gave up on me. He was there with me when there was joy in my life, and he was with me when I didn't know which way to turn to next. I want to share my story of life and give Jesus the glory. He is with us. He wants a relationship with us. He is working in your life when you don't even realize it. Then when you do realize he is there for us, it changes your life for the better. You may still have struggles, but remember, he loves us and wants a relationship with us. Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said "Surely the LORD is in this place and I did not know it." --Genesis 28:16

A generational memoir of the American suburbs, Pull Me Up is a deeply affecting book. With prose that to Frank McCourt "flashes with poetry," New York Times columnist Dan Barry tells the story of an unforgettable American family. He writes so crisply that we not only feel his emotions but also recall our own: the joy of Little League, the thrill of small-town reporting, the pain of losing a parent, and the fear of facing a life-threatening illness. Barry's writing has its own stalwart beauty, a single melody teased out of the American symphony. Here is the voice of an authentic American writer.

This book tells true stories about real angel events that take place at an inner-city teaching hospital. Many nurses and doctors witnessed these amazing events, which happened at the bedsides of critically ill patients in the surgical intensive care unit. Three types of angel visits were experienced: (1) visits to comfort and bring indescribable peace, (2) visits to miraculously heal, and (3) visits to escort the patient's soul to heaven. The purpose of the book is to share stories that will inspire hope and encourage faith. Angels are alive and living with us today. Hoping this book also inspires other nurses to come forward and share their experiences of other wonderful angel events. These are only a few of the stories as told by a nurse who was there to experience the Angels @ My Bedside.
