Read an excerpt »

I know God is real is that I have experienced the miracle of giving birth. Isn’t it amazing to think that a tiny seed can grow inside a woman’s womb and become a fully formed and intelligent human being? God didn’t have to make it so cool, but He did. And to top it all off, He gave us the one thing that separates us from all other life – the ability to love.

And most importantly, I know God is real because of the lives He has transformed – mine, my husband’s and countless others. The evidence is all around; I have seen His fingerprint time after time on the lives of believers.

On the pages to follow, you will read inspiring stories of how people from the worlds of sports and entertainment know God is real too. You’ll read accounts of miracles, answered prayers and redeemed lives, and I pray they are an inspiration to you.

If you would like to more deeply explore the issues covered in a particular chapter, there is a section at the end of each of them called God’s Road Map that will refer you to passages of Scripture. These verses are just the tip of the iceberg; there is so much wisdom in the Bible. You’ll also see a topical index at the beginning of the book that may help if you are struggling with a particular issue.

If you have questions, ask them – consult a trusted Christian friend, a clergy member, or visit my website at www.hesreal.com.

Most importantly, be open to what God is revealing as you go through the pages of this book. Give Jesus Christ a chance - your life will never be the same.
