A crisis, a fresh start, and a spiritual encounter

Steve Skaleski’s account spans two pivotal moments: a life-threatening medical crisis during his senior year of high school, followed by a move to Florida four years later and another encounter with death. The description connects physical recovery with the isolation and hopelessness Steve experiences when his plans for school and football are disrupted. Its central turn is a reported encounter with God at a moment when he believes no doctor can save him, framing the book around faith amid mortal danger and the possibility of renewed hope.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in faith-centered personal accounts.
  • Readers drawn to stories involving serious illness, recovery, and spiritual experience.

Book overview

A trip to the emergency room, a week in the hospital, and nearly dying is no way to start a high school senior year. But for seventeen-year-old Steve, it is a devastating reality. Realizing that he won't be playing football for the rest of the season and that the rest of the school year looks bleak, he tries to make the best of the situation. But a long recovery afterward leaves him feeling hopeless and depressed. His senior year is nearly lost. Then four years later, a sudden decision to move to Florida gives him hope of a fresh start. But once again, death comes knocking. This time, there are no doctors who can save him. Alone and afraid, he gasps for one last breath, then a miraculous encounter with God changes everything.
