From the back cover: "If you don't believe in angels... You should spend some time in the ER. You'll learn that angels do exist. Some are nurses, a few are doctors, and many are everyday people. ...Sometimes you have to look hard for their wings, as with well-starched head nurse Virginia Granger, whose heart of compassion hides behind a steely gaze that can quell a belligerent patient with a glance. ...Sometimes they bring a grin, like William Purvis -- a.k.a. "Max Bruiser" -- a beefy pro wrestler who lands in the ER after a tussle with an unexpected opponent. ...And sometimes you have to shield your eyes from the glow that surrounds them, as with asthma sufferer Macey Love, whose determination to love the two granddaughters in her care -- and everyone else she meets -- is expressed in just the radiance of her smile. In these true stories -- some thoughtful, some delightful, some heart-pumping -- you'll see close-up the joys and struggles of people like you. Along with them, you can search your own heart for answers to finding grace and peace in the darkness, and living well in the light." "Hard to put down...I can only compare the demand for moment-to-moment decision-making with my time on the basketball court." - Bobby Jones - cofounder 2XSALT, four-time NBA All-Star |
