Publisher's Synopsis
Inspirational and Heartwarming Stories About Courage, Resilience, and Miracles
What Happens When You Choose to See Your Life as a Series of Miracles?
Jay Gittleson's childhood was filled with enough trauma and drama for a dozen TV specials, including a triple-murder in his family.
However, a rough childhood was just the start of Jay's miraculous journey. One of the most miraculous stories is how Jay chose to deal with facing end-stage renal failure.
Jay, a Jewish man, and his Catholic wife move to the small town of Nazareth, Pennsylvania, after Jay has a vision. The couple is led to an evangelical church that works hand-in-hand with Orthodox rabbis to help save his life.
Mysterious Ways: Discovering the Miracles of Life as I Fight for My Own is a collection of true stories from Jay's life that show how the decision to view life as a series of miracles allows miracles to become a regular part of your life.
When reading Jay's stories, it sometimes feels like you are reading about a real-life Forest Gump who becomes mysteriously connected to several famous people. People like the sitcom star Fred "Rerun" Berry and baseball legends Darryl Strawberry and Doc Gooden keep popping up in Jay's life at important moments.
But the most moving miracles in Jay's book are about the ordinary people he connects with, like the dancer who offers Jay a kidney, the homeless man on the subway who becomes a confidant, or the gambler who is also a talented poet.
Mysterious Ways: Discovering the Miracles of Life as I Fight for My Own is essential reading for anyone interested in spirituality, miracles, and what it means to live life to the fullest.
This inspiring and heartwarming collection of stories isn't a typical memoir. Instead, it's a moving look at the power of gratitude to create big and small miracles every day.
