About this ebook
The miraculous story of a loving couple, their never-to-be-forgotten friend, a little girl, and a very special teddy bear....
Retired from his long, successful career as an agent to many of the most famous and dynamic motivational speakers in the world, Bart Manning was happily enjoying his newfound freedom with his lovely wife, Mary. So why, one morning, did he find himself headed back to the little office that he had never given up? He didn't know. But as he sat at his dusty desk, he decided to go back into business. If God had sent him there, Bart told himself, he would wait for His plan to unfold.
Then, at a crowded convention, he found his answer in the person of a handsome young man named Patrick Donne, whose deep, commanding voice spoke words of profound wisdom that electrified the audience. With the thrill of discovery, Bart recognized Donne's short speech as the best inspirational talk he had ever heard. Bart was soon caught up in the extraordinary realm that was Patrick's ordinary world, where even tragedy and sorrow became transforming experiences and remarkable things happened.

I do enjoy parables and this told a good story. The main character seemed a bit over the top in his saintly personality, did he have any faults?

This fictional-story moved my spirit to the point where i also used the "prayer " of Donne for healing. And it works! Just Complemented it with Faith! I search it online but unfortunately all copies were for sale. No Free. I wish they could offer it for FREE! Besides, the Author and the Publishing House was already EARNED for their effort. Maybe its time to make it all FREE. 🌟 Im Koro Obi, i love books, really love reading since i learned to read. Books for me are like FOODS, can't live without reading any single lines of words or phrases a day. Ive read tons of volumes compared to other individuals. This is where my knowledge increases. All sorts of Books was accepted by my brain, i don't choose any kinds, just love reading all SORTS. Is this sone kind of sickness? Because i dont feel ok if i wasn't be able to read any words or phrase or anything that was written in a day. Please let me know if you experience the same.
