An abused seven-year-old boy is caught up in the CPS system and shuffled from family

to family, until he is finally adopted by a loving veterinarian and his wife. Barely surviving

his childhood trauma, the boy is caught outside in the middle of a terrible thunderstorm,

and young Walter Meyer is suddenly struck by a bolt of lightning and pays a tragic price

– he suffers cardiac arrest.

While he is unconscious, he has an out-of-body experience and encounters spiritual

beings (he calls them angels) and experiences the loving presence that some call the

Holy Spirit. Walter is given the gift of life and a special message. Miraculously, he is

brought back to life and survives solely due to his parent's performing CPR and

paramedic's efforts. When he awakens back in his own body, his experience did not feel

like a dream or a hallucination, but was "more real than real life." He doesn't tell many

people what exactly happened to him when he died, but when he does, they don't

believe it...so he only shares his story with those he trusts.

His near death experience leaves him profoundly changed and he is blessed with

incredible new abilities. He's become a better version of himself, however, he has

trouble fitting back into everyday life. As he grows into manhood, his quest to fulfill

God's message takes him from the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, to the

lush serenity of Duke University, to his wildest adventure near Mount Kilimanjaro in

Africa, finally to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia.

Driven by his new-found relationship with God, Meyer is on a singular-focused mission

that enables him to overcome evil with good. He becomes a man of great wealth, finds

his true love, and saves enumerable lives...with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to save

the life of a future president.
