Book Synopsis

In His Time is a tear-jerking story of a young woman who was the epitome of extraordinary courage, determination, and strength in the most trying situations. Her dream of becoming a medical doctor was shattered at age nineteen when Irish was given the life-changing diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus. She went from being a healthy child to living a roller coaster life as she fought this chronic and debilitating disease. Six years later, in 2005, she survived the greatest nightmare when she was hospitalized for six weeks at Loma Linda University Medical Center-her life in the balance.

How she survived the multisystem failure involving the kidney, lung, and heart is an incredible story to be told. Only the power of the Living God can do what we cannot in our helplessness. He is our only hope. He still performs miracles today and answers prayers just as He did in the past. Irish's battle for survival teaches us that miracles still happen, that God is always there, and that He will hold our hands as we traverse the sometimes dark and hopeless road ahead. Yes, there is light at the end of the tunnel. God does make things beautiful IN HIS TIME.

Review Quotes

A vivid depiction and a constant reminder that God is faithful and 'In His time - He makes all things beautiful'. Trusting His promises and keeping Him as the central focus, and during those times when everything seems dark, He is still working in your life -'In His time'.

The story was truthful, very detailed and well written. It moved me to tears just reading it and realizing how sick she was and how persistent you all were on her behalf. I had chills reading about Reo's commitment to Irish, how they loved, respected and cared for each other. I remember reading about her discharge from the hospital, how frail and weak she was. However, she was determined to attend church. I was inspired by her tenacity to know that all things are possible when we depend on God.

This is an inspiring, thought provoking, faith building story of a young woman faced with seemingly never-ending medical problems, yet in the end-an experience of joy and miraculous answer to steadfast prayer.

A must-read book which portrays that God is in control. In our present struggle and difficulties, He will answer the prayer of faith.
