Roughly a year ago, I sat in church and had an epiphany.
Well, not necessary an epiphany. I had a vision. It was during the pastor's sermon, and although it had nothing to do with death, death is what I imagined. To be more specific, I imagined a funeral. A funeral of someone I love very dearly.
My wife was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia in April 2011. Although she is still in remission, her eyes have been causing her a great deal of trouble and I still live with the fear that I may lose her. Then, a thought occured to me: what is someone, who was dying, prayed to God. Not prayed to heal them. No. This someone prayed to God as an apology for living such a dull life and never accomplishing what they should have. Then, as this person laid down to sleep, they were met with an angel who showed them that they in fact accomplished more by doing little things.
In other words: it's the little things that make a big difference.
Enter Gabriel's Hope. It's a novella about a guy named Larry Wahl, who is struck with terminal cancer and meets up with a child angel--this child is actually his unborn child as his wife had a miscarriage several years before.
The child angel's name is Gabriel. And Gabriel shows Larry seven people whom he helped by performing small tasks.
Gabriel's Hope is only $.99 on the Amazon Kindle. Be sure to pick up this little book.
Some who've read it has compared it to Mitch Albom's The Five People You Meet In Heaven. I'm flattered to be set next to such a legendary author.
Please let me know what you think. Here is the link to the Amazon Kindle store for Gabriel's Hope.
