This journey was a continual walk of faith. I had believed in God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit even as a child. I had always prayed to God, asking to know him in a greater measure. However, trust in man had always been an issue for me after years of being hurt. Because of that distrust and insecurity, my heart had become hardened. I thought I did not need anyone—except God. My own life seemed to always be inferior and my last priority when compared to others. When I first discovered the lump, it was small. However, a few months later, it was massive. It was then I knew I could not fight this battle alone. During this journey, I would fight many battles with an enemy who was fighting to destroy me. There was a war within myself, trying to figure things out and spiritually what I believed the Bible said. I found out I was not alone. For when the enemy sought to destroy me, God had a better plan.

In this book, you will find stories of overcoming loss and doubt, and finding hope and faith. You will read about times when God, His angels and saints have interacted directly with the contributing authors in critical times of need. The reader will find stories from more than thirty writers of various faiths and ages, but all with the same goal; to share their experiences of struggle and triumph with those who need to find hope, joy, and direction for their lives. These are stories of normal people; like those you meet in the grocery store, those who cut your hair, repair your air conditioner, and teach your children. These are people who sometimes struggle to pay their bills, deal with family difficulties, and love to sleep in. They are regular people who, through God’s grace, have received guidance, cures, and answered prayers. We must never think that we cannot have such experiences. We are all God’s children; equal in His eyes. As you read these pages, may God's love and mercy fill you with His grace!"
