Dean James

Dean Allen James was born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania in 1961. Six months later, the authors' family was nearly destroyed when they were involved in a horrible accident which threw Dean and his parents from their car, leaving Dean and his father seriously injured and his mother dead. At fifteen, Dean joined the Tolland Ambulance Assoc. and at seventeen he joined the U.S. Coast Guard. Dean entered EMT-Paramedic school in 1989 where his life met a tragic end...and a new one began. The author was in a terrible auto accident just after completing his paramedic training and he suffered such serious injuries that he became completely paralyzed and then died at the scene before help could arrive. This is the story about one of the most amazing miracles of our time and it is told by the author who overcame incredible obstacles and credits his survival to the mercy and love of God.
