We find comfort in a world of routine and predictability – glancing over the circumstances of others from afar while believing that could never happen to me. But when the impossible becomes reality and all things of comfort are removed, only one thing remains – God.

This book is a true story of unthinkable tragedy, shattered dreams and impossible sacrifice that led Jodi Manfred through a process of finding purpose in the pain, after her young husband, Josh suffered a massive brain stroke on his 39th birthday. At the mercy of one of the best medical teams in the country who advised Jodi to tell her husband “goodbye,” she surrendered her life to Jesus, as faith was the only option she had left – crying out to God, “Father, please let him live.”

Jodi’s intimate retelling of her journey through heart-wrenching fear, deep anguish, and spiritual uncertainty will touch your heart. The revealing of God’s hand in her family’s physical and emotional circumstances will bolster your faith and challenge your understanding of a Heavenly Father that never leaves our side, renews our hope and paints beauty within our ashes.
