    About this ebook

    When God interrupts our lives with an unexpected event, we are faced with choices that will impact our ability to move forward. Gary Cooper experienced an unexpected event in his life that jolted him and sent him on a journey of spiritual renewal and self-discovery. As an immigrant from the Bahamas, Gary learned over the years to adjust to new, challenging, and unfamiliar circumstances to succeed with a fulfilling life. He was caught off guard, however, when a sudden crisis came into his life and confronted him with uncertainty he had never faced before.
    His story unfolds of how he found the fortitude to face a crisis and discover the strength and courage that is found only in God. Gary gives an honest, unvarnished account of his experience but also speaks with helpful tips in dealing with his crisis. His story concludes with an admonition and hope for our present society. Gary currently lives in Chattanooga, TN.
