The Viewfinder: Michael's Story

by Michael J. Bowen

Driving off the set of an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie, Michael, a senior in college, never sees the oncoming car that hits his driver’s side door. Disoriented and languishing in his mangled car, he tries to move, but it’s as though a powerful force is pinning him down. Unable to cope with this reality, he falls unconscious and a spiritual intervention begins.

In his altered state, photos flash before his eyes, triggering memories of his past and a glimpse into his future. The 3D images feel so real, so full of depth, that it’s like looking through the lens of a toy viewfinder. But why, why is he seeing these images?

This captivating true story will take you on an emotional roller-coaster ride through Michael’s quest to rebuild his broken body and fulfill his dreams while searching for the answer to the question: what is God’s plan for my life?

Very inspirational! I encourage everyone to read this book. The author, Mr. Bowen was my son’s tennis coach in high school. He was always encouraging, kind and a hole model to all his students. I knew he had gone through a traumatic accident but I had no idea how bad it was. God bless you Coach!
