THE IMPOSSIBLE reveals prayer’s immediate and powerful impact through the true account of a family whose son died and was miraculously resurrected. Through the years and the struggles, when life seemed more about hurt and loss than hope and mercy, God was positioning the Smiths for something extraordinary-the death and resurrection of their son. When Joyce Smith’s fourteen-year-old son John fell … Joyce Smith’s fourteen-year-old son John fell through an icy Missouri lake one winter morning, she and her family had seemingly lost everything. At the hospital, John lay lifeless for more than sixty minutes. But Joyce was not ready to give up on her son. She mustered all her faith and strength into one force and cried out to God in a loud voice to save him.
Miraculously, her son’s heart immediately started beating again.
In the coming days, John would defy every expert, every case history, and every scientific prediction. Sixteen days after falling through the ice and being clinically dead for an hour, he walked out of the hospital under his own power, completely healed.
THE IMPOSSIBLE is about a profound truth: prayer really does work. God uses it to remind us that He is always with us, and when we combine it with unshakable faith, nothing is impossible.more
An inspirational true story of how a tragic situation turns into a triumphant ending by the power of prayer and grace of a loving and trustworthy God who is always with us. Looking forward to seeing the movie too!
I was privileged to hear the author speak at a meeting I attended. What a phenomenal lady, what a phenomenal testimony of what God can do in the lives of those who believe…and even those that do not!
Strong female lead! Love the character growth- love the true story, love showing of faith throughout. Love the Mom’s perspective.
I’ve read about half of this book and it is so good. I’ve already been telling people about it and recommending it. I love it!
Just an incredible story, everyone should read it. The power of faith is truly inspiring, thought provoking and humbling.
