Joyce Smith

Looking For Love in all the Wrong Faces is the true story of one woman's quest to find love and salvage the image she was developing among friends, family, and peers. It is a story of the triumph of spirit through the word of God.

En sann mirakelberättelse om en kvinnas tro och hennes sons återkomst till livet. En vintermorgon föll Joyce Smiths son John genom isen på en insjö utanför St. Louis. För Joyce och hennes familj såg det ut som om de förlorat allt. John var fast under isen i mer än 20 minuter och låg livlös på sjukhuset i ytterligare 45 minuter. Läkarna skulle precis till att ge upp återupplivningsförsöken och dödförklara tonåringen. Men Joyce hade inga tankar på att ge upp hoppet om sin son. Hon frambringade all tro och kraft hon kunde och ropade till Gud om räddning för sin son. I samma ögonblick började hennes sons hjärta slå igen. Under de dagar som låg framför trotsade John varje expert, varje tidigare fall och varje vetenskaplig prognos. Sexton dagar efter fallet genom isen, och efter ha legat död under en timme, gick John ut från sjukhuset på egna ben – fullständigt helad. Uppvaknandet handlar om en central sanning: bön fungerar verkligen. Gud använder den för att visa att han alltid är med oss. Och när vi kombinerar bön med orubblig tro är ingenting omöjligt.

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 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. BREAKTHROUGH 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.
