Christian Family Reveals the Death of a Son, Birth of Another as Husband Departs to Iraq and the Miracle that Changed Many Lives
 
CNTNewswire.Com - Virginia Beach, Virginia – Xulon Press announces the publication of the nonfiction book, Strong Winds Change Lives by author Eureka F. Collins. Collins sets Strong Winds Change Lives in her native city of Virginia Beach and Hampton Roads communities. It reveals the true story of how a mother earnestly prayed to have a child after several doctors stated there was a fifty-fifty chance of giving birth. Having faith, the mother went through the rigorous In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) program and became pregnant. Things become dark and confusing when the child dies and on the same day her husband, a Naval Officer, receives word that he will be departing within a week for the Iraqi War on Terrorism.
 
As the family is torn apart and tries to make sense of this tragedy, they grow closer to God through prayer. After a six-month deployment, the husband safely returns. Within a year, the couple attempted the IVF process again and the mother becomes pregnant. Although doctors monitor her closely, she delivered a son at twenty-three weeks premature, weighing a mere one-pound and 2.5 ounces. The family was told that statistically their son would not survive. The mother asked God to remember her as He did “Hannah” (of the Bible’s Old Testament book of Samuel).
 
Strong Winds Change Lives is a story of faith, triumph and healing. It is a story about dominion, power and perseverance. Suffering was used as part of a bigger plan and purpose to change many lives. God did something miraculous in this family’s life—something extraordinary! Collins captures their heart-warming, tear-jerking and remarkable experiences in this captivating book. This family was in the valley of the shadows of death, but God intervened. He heard their prayers and received their faith. Their lives were never the same again—and neither will yours be! You will be inspired to make positive changes in your life. You must read this exhilarating story!
