What inspired the story behind this book—what moment, experience, or inner burden made you realize, “This book needs to be written”?

I was inspired to write this book by the incidents that happened in my life—experiences that often felt impossible to survive, yet I made it through them. In many situations where fear, uncertainty, danger, and even death surrounded me, I came out miraculously unharmed. These were not just lucky escapes; they must have been moments of God’s guidance and protection. Each incident left a deep mark on my heart and changed the way I see life and my faith in God. Writing these stories became my way of reflecting on those experiences and sharing a testimony of my miraculous rescues with others.

Because of the events I had gone through in my young life, I felt an urge to write my personal testimony in the form of a book while I was still in high school. However, I did not have enough knowledge about writing a book, so I postponed the idea. Later, when I started working, I renewed my desire to write and even enrolled in a correspondence course on book writing. Unfortunately, this did not work out because the study materials arrived late by post.

As my working career progressed, I once again revived my dream of writing and enrolled in a creative writing course. However, I was unable to continue because I changed offices and became too busy with work.

Just after I retired from active employment and was planning to begin my writing journey, I unexpectedly bumped into a former workmate and longtime friend on the street. We exchanged contacts and later met again. She told me that she had just published her book with CLC and was happy to connect me with them. Soon afterward, I enrolled in a writing class, and in less than a year, my book was complete.
