- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Inside this book you will find hope, encouragement, sadness, grief, miracles and unconditional love. Each chapter starts with scripture that I really liked. The stories are testimonies to what God is capable of doing. It was inspiring to read how the EMT’s were caring and treated each patient with compassion. I enjoyed reading each story and following along as the patients traveled to the hospital. There are some difficult stories that will make you cry. I could feel the adrenaline rush each time 911 was dispatched to a scene. I know my heart would be racing not knowing what to expect when arriving upon a scene. I liked that the author shared the good outcomes as well as the sad ones. One of the stories that really touched me was the one about Alzheimer. My mother had it and it was a difficult journey to care for her. It was hard to see how her body and mind slowly failed her. All we could do as she started slipping away was to pray that God would ease her suffering. Each story talks about different illnesses or accidents but in some way we can all relate to them. The family members who stand by helplessly watching while the EMT’s do what they can can be heart wrenching. I appreciate the dedication that EMT’s have and how the author uses her faith as she prepares for each emergency.“If we listen closely, we may hear the messages that Jesus might be sending us about our own lives as well as the lives of others.”I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.
