“…your stories speak to my heart and help me remember
what is important.”
These stories are fashioned around basic human challenges
that stymie our hope and test our faith…and we wonder if
anyone is listening. Yet, we know that goodness abounds,
prayers are answered, and peace is but around the corner.
These stories sustain those beliefs
From The Miracle Panel: “As he prepared his invitations
to The Miracle Panel, he experienced a déjà vu that harkened
him back to the apostles. What a quandary that had been!
Even though each witnessed my miracles, he thought, still,
one became a doubter, one a turncoat, and another denied
me three times…”
What would you do if you had eight hours to live? How
would you approach God for more miracles? What would
you do if your teenage daughter was lost in New York City?
How would you feel if you missed your father’s funeral?
What if God’s emissary asked for a special favor? Beyond
Imagination answers these questions.

I wrote this as a tribute to my grandson, Preston, who was born with a rare chromosome disorder…which led to significant developmental delays. A Children’s Hospital in Huntington would save travel, vacation, sick leave, hotel expenses and loss of support groups for approximately 500 families per year that must seek pediatric subspecialties in other cities. $50,000 may seem like a pittance in comparison to the $12 million needed…but, with your help, it is a mission I intend to complete. Thank you. “John is a talented author…his recent book, Beyond Imagination, is being sold nationally with the book’s revenues going toward the building of a new Children's Hospital at Cabell Huntington Hospital. His personal dedication to the health and well being of the region’s children is remarkable. We are proud to call John a friend and encourage others to share his vision.” David Graley, VP and COO, Cabell Huntington Hospital ******************************************************************* John and "The Mark Wandall Foundation" have partnered in order to support their respective missions for the needs of children.
