The Samaritan's Gift (ePub)

It begins in West Virginia and ends in Washington, DC... An abused seven-year-old boy is caught up in the CPS system and shuffled from family to family, until he is finally adopted by a loving veterinarian and his wife. Barely surviving his childhood trauma, the boy is caught outside in the middle of a terrible thunderstorm, and young Walter Meyer is suddenly struck by a bolt of lightning and pays a tragic price - he suffers cardiac arrest. While he is unconscious, he has an out-of-body experience and encounters spiritual beings (he calls them angels) and experiences the loving presence that some call the Holy Spirit. Walter is given the gift of life and a special message. Miraculously, he is brought back to life and survives solely due to his parent's performing CPR and paramedic's efforts. His near death experience leaves him profoundly changed and he is blessed with incredible new abilities. As he grows into manhood, his quest to fulfill God's message takes him from the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, to the lush serenity of Duke University, to his wildest adventure near Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa, finally to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia. Driven by his new-found relationship with God, Meyer is on a singular-focused mission that enables him to overcome evil with good. He becomes a man of great wealth, finds his true love, and saves enumerable lives...with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to save the life of a future president
