DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES?

Danny Velasco was on top of the world. As a hairdresser and make-up artist to the stars, he travelled the world living a life of which many only dream of. As time passed Danny realized his ambition had masked his unhappiness.

This feeling of un-fulfillment led Danny in search of something to fill the emptiness of his soul. Little did Danny know, his journey would take him to the depths of despair and living on the streets of New York.

"Detour Through Hell" is the true story of one man's journey from having a seemingly blessed life, to near death, before discovering a renewed faith that began a transformation which forever changed his life.

A Lifestyle of Glamour and Excess Led to Heroin Addiction and Homelessness until his life was touched by God.

The media's portrayal of the "rich and famous" has promoted that the way to happiness is to be famous and get rich even if you die trying. The problem is that once that cycle of self-gratification and unrealistic goals has been fed, it only leads to disappointment, heartache, and shattered dreams. People all over the world but especially in the United States, have bought in to the hype that if it feels good, do it. They are told to do whatever it is that they want to do and to do it without shame or guilt.

Danny Velasco lived in that world of self-indulgence. The fashion scene gave him grand opportunities of fulfilling his dreams and being one of the most sought after celebrity stylists in the world. As he attained all of his goals, he found that happiness and peace eluded him, which caused him to lose all hope. From runways in the fashion capitals of the world to the desert sands of Arabian Princesses and world tours with famous rock stars, Danny shares with you the drama of the surreal world of privilege and access which he lived in for 20 years.

Let Danny take you on a private tour of the under belly of a society filled with drugs, prostitutes, murderers and into the realms of insanity.

Then read about his travels around the world as he tells people the miraculous story of his amazing conversion and about the POWERFUL God who set him free.

"Danny's life reminds us that God's heart is full of mercy. In a day when many give up praying because the situation seems hopeless, Danny Velasco stands as a trophy of the long suffering and kindness of our heavenly Father. You will be deeply moved and never forget the story you are about to read".

"I have heard hundreds of stories of God's transformation power at work in peoples lives but Danny's story is the most amazing and encouraging one of them all. From the height of success in our business to living on the streets of New York without a home, we watched this story unfold. The faithful prayers and witness of one of our models Wanda is also an awesome example of how God can use each of us right where we are.I am blessed to know Danny, now transformed by God's grace and power. His story is one you will never forget".
