A Reason to Be: How Giving the Gift of Life Gave Meaning to My Own

When Theresa Reed went to work at a small law office, "organ donation" was not part of the job description. But one day she recognized a client whose husband was ill. As she debated whether to buy flowers, send a card, or pray for the ailing man, God quietly asked, "Would you give him a kidney?" Convincing Dr. Boshkos she was not crazy, but had, indeed, heard from God, was the first of many hurdles Theresa would have to clear prior to surgery. A Reason to Be is a true story wrought with unprecedented twists and turns and the uncanny -- even miraculous -- way God addressed each one. This compelling, faith-based story also exemplifies the unique and mighty mystery of God's manifestation in the lives of believers and how He uses them, and the events in their lives, to reach others. A Reason to Be is a first-hand account of a spiritual experience confirming that there is, indeed, more to life than the here and now. It offers hope, comfort and a glimpse into the spiritual realm, satisfying what seems to have become a surging hunger for such affirmation.
