Jesus Held Me

By Woody Overton, Jr

This is a mind blowing, true story of Woody Overton, a veteran homicide detective's real life near death experience and his harrowing journey into the depths of mental and physical hell that he and his family suffered through. Overton was diagnosed by the best medical professionals in the world, who all agreed upon one thing--that he would be an invalid and disabled for the rest of his life. Debilitating pain and suffering would take the place of his previous life and the best he could hope for was to be paralyzed. His law enforcement career, his role as a husband, father, friend and son would be forever changed and the person that he had been would cease to exist. That's if he lived at all. He had been diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia which is more commonly known as “the suicide disease” because the majority of the people who have the disease kill themselves. Those afflicted cannot live with the pain which is reported to be one of the worst pains known to man. What all of the best medical experts didn't expect was the fact that Woody Overton and his family had absolute faith in Jesus Christ who has the final say in all things! Jesus Held Me is a must read for anyone who is struggling with the human side of life or has ever wondered what happens at the moment when you die.
