Book Description
“Ema, give me your hand.” These were the words Jesus spoke to Ema on Christmas Eve before He straightened her crooked foot, hand, neck, and spine, and restored her mobility.
Easter weekend, eighteen years earlier, an ordinary workday turned into a nightmare when Ema McKinley passed out and was left hanging upside down in the storage room.
Rather than improving, Ema’s body became progressively bent and disfigured. Doctors diagnosed Ema with reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD), an extremely painful trauma-induced disease which led to Ema’s hand and foot deformities, painful sores, insomnia, gastrological distress, curvature of the neck and spine, heart and lung failure, and permanent confinement to a wheelchair.
Once an athletic, powerhouse woman with multiple jobs and volunteer positions, Ema became a modern-day Job who lost everything except her faith and desire to trust God more fully. Ema wrestled with pain, anger, and unforgiveness, but now takes the reader on a healing miracle encounter of Biblical proportions.
Rush of Heaven will ignite readers’ passion for Jesus and help them walk hand-in-hand with Him through life’s darkness. It will open hearts to embrace the impossible.
“Jesus gave me this miracle for you too!” — Ema McKinley
Review
I received an eARC copy of this book from the publisher. Here is my honest review.
What an incredible story!
Ema had a deep faith before her accident and the daily struggles after push her into the arms of Jesus even more. I already knew God was real before this book; as a Christian though, I am in awe of Ema's constant faithfulness to Jesus. Her love for Him, her trust in Him, never faltered. She is an example to us all in how we should be seeking His counsel and strength. I do not face the trials and physical pain that Ema did, but I do have trials and pain in my life - thank you for helping me grow in my faith!
If you enjoy seeing the faith journey of other Christians, this is a winner!
