God Said Yes

I would Highly recommend this book. If you want a book that is very up lifting and moving.

This is an amazing story of survival against terrible odds. Heather survives a devastating car accident, horrific abuse, dozens of awful surgeries and usually fatal infections - and all with a positive attitude and a zest for life. I agree there are inaccuracies with some of the medical stuff. I chalk that up to her not being a medical professional (as I am.) When a patient doesn't fully understand what is going on medically they tend to get things wrong. The title makes it sound like it's another one of those religious books. It's not. It's for anyone who wishes to be inspired by one woman's candid, often painful life story.

Wonderful book. I would highly recommend this book. I have passed it around at work and everyone liked it. I am very pleased with this book and, as always, pleased with the timely manner in which it was received.

A tear jerker memoir that will surprise and encourage you & make you thankful for what you already have. The title doesn't aptly convey the powerful story between its pages. If ever there was a modern day Job, she can be found in the pages of this book. Even if you're not much of a reader this one is hard to put down. I've experienced a fraction of what this woman has been through and I think all of us can identify with such a very real life person portrayed here. I wish I knew how better to recommend it!

When my publisher's publicist dragged me by the arm over to meet author, Heather Hornback Bland at a recent book festival where I was suppose to be pitching my own book, he pleaded "You have just got to pick this woman's book for your book club!" On first glance I thought, former Miss America, she was just that beautiful, striking in fact. You see I too judged a book by it's cover and pereceived Heather Hornback Bland as writing another inspirational book from a former beauty queen. What I learned upon meeting Heather was so much further from the truth than I ever could have imagined. You see Heather had accidentily been run over by her mother. What? How did that happen? All I have to say is you have to read the book. I invited Heather to speak at my annual Christian and Inspirational festival, Books Alive and my life has been changed forever. If you buy one book this holiday season, buy "God Said Yes". This story is important because you see to me this holiday season I have seen it as a test. A test for me of giving to someone who has such a great need without me being able to receive a thing in return. I have been on a personal mission every since to help her. Never in my life have I ever touched someone in person who I felt was filled with God's love. God did say yes and when you read this book remember. That life is precious and we are all here on this earth for a purpose. My faith has been renewed ten fold and I have made this book an official Pulpwood Queen Book Club Selection for 2008. Heather will be back to visit my book club this coming January, God willing and my prayer is that someone will read her story and come forth to give her financial security. To be run over accidentilly by your mother and live to tell the tale, then to endure 200 operations in order to just live, is something no one should have to bear besides worrying each month if you will have the money for your medical needs to live. The Pulpwood Queens and all our Pulpwood authors have all rallied to help Heather live. I encourage you too to help by buying this book and paying it forward. The greatest gift I was ever given for Christmas was the blessing of getting to know Heather. She is truly a gift from heaven. Her book will make you realize the true meaning of Christmas.
