From the Author

Having had a near death experience myself I first set out to write about that experience. As I researched near death experiences I began to wonder about those who claimed to be able to heal others but not themselves.

As I researched faith healers I remembered the story of Jesus being touched by a woman in a crowd of people and asking, who touched Him. Then I began to wonder, If Jesus could be caught off guard and actually feel a force leave Him, what would it be like if someone actually did have the power to heal with a single touch? Would it be a blessing or a curse? My novel "Amazing Grace" explores that question.
