At Death's Door

About this book

A true story of faith, family, and fighting for life.On a quiet June morning, Mo and Nancy Hodge set out on one of their regular bicycle rides down their county road. Minutes later, Nancy lay on the pavement - struck from behind by an impaired driver, eleven bones broken, a ventilator soon breathing for her. Her husband of fifty-four years knelt beside her and cried out to God.Thousands of people prayed. This book is what happened next.Written in real time as the family lived it, At Death's Door gathers the whole journey: the prologue from that road, the chapters published from the ICU and the long recovery, a pastor's chapter for those whose loved one did not come home - and, for the first time, Nancy's own chapter. What she saw in the quiet hours on the ventilator. Why there was, in her words, "no fear - just puzzling." And why she chose to stay.Includes the family's photographs, a reflection guide for individuals and small groups, and a bonus chapter from The One Tree - the very chapter a nurse read aloud at Nancy's bedside.God still protects. God still heals. This is the testimony.
