God comes to us every time we breathe. What Joan has done can be done my many, but very few do, Joan is one of the few, she honors God, which leads us to Jesus. This is a beautiful book, written by a lamb of God.
Good read. Joan reminds us that God is with us and works with us in small ways with big outcomes. We never know who we touch when we reach out and share God’s love with one another

“Joan Aubele is as inspiring as they come. Her autobiographical presentation covers some of the most difficult situations life can throw at one, and yet her story is a miracle usually discovered only within the pages of story books. Aubele’s rare diagnosis and even rarer recovery transcends previous belief and understanding. In turn, her story fuels the spark of life and hope we hold in all of our hearts. At the beginning of this presentation, you may be harboring a heavy heart, but you will leave feeling weightless. If you have the opportunity to hear Joan Aubele’s story, you should do your best to attend. You may wind up pleasantly surprised to find that it was something you did not even know you needed.”
