The Story
Joanna Alander was suffering from severe migraines and depression when she attempted to end her life. During her near-death experience, she felt an angel pull her spirit from her body. They traveled through space and arrived at a complex filled with classrooms where souls learned about their future experiences on Earth. Joanna observed others preparing for their lives, including a man excited about having cystic fibrosis. She felt God's love and recognized Him. He gave her a mission and showed her a vision of her life, conditional on her faith in Him. After accepting the mission, she returned to her body. After the NDE, Joanna felt a new sense of purpose and a deeper understanding of her worth and potential.
