Tbi Revelation: Getting Through a Tbi by God’s Grace

By Shane McNealey

My goal is for this book to serve as a resource for others who have been affected by a Traumatic Brain Injury. Deep in my heart, I hope that this book helps them to be able to adjust to their new lives and prepare for the trails that they will have to deal with as they go through their recovery and learn how to live differently. I encourage all of them to pick up their cross, and accept Jesus in their lives as their Lord and Savior. Believe in him, and believe in His word…the Holy Bible. The accounts in the bible have bee proven by eye witnesses, college researchers, and archeologists. However thick and however high your steel wall stands doesn’t matter, for He is right there with you, waiting for you to receive Him. John 16:33 reads, "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
