I don't expect you to believe everything you read in this book. But you should . . . It began at 1:23 am. I sat up in bed and saw a vision. For almost two decades, my hesitation in writing this has been my overwhelming fear of hurting someone and being left to look like a fool in the process. I don't "understand" everything that I am sharing in this book, but I can assure you of three basic things: it happened, I was there, and I am still trying to make complete sense of it. But I also know that God was in it. Even though it still haunts me, in a strange way it frees me to hear God like never before. Have you given up on believing God can speak to you in the most miraculous ways? The bizarre nature of this book will compel you to turn the pages in anticipation of the outcome, but the final verdict will teach you how God uses physical repetitive reminders like "23" to assure you that He is WITH you and FOR you in all details of your life. I invite you to join me on this journey to discover God's voice for your life, too. Because what He says to us, and what we do with it for God, matters. It matters to God. And in the end, it is ALL that matters.
