About this item

Faced with developmental challenges of a brain injury at birth and the devastating effects of bullying, this heart-warming story of faith explains how faith in God, believing in yourself, and leaning on others can rescue from the edge of death and bring the ultimate victory. Life doesn't always go as planned ... and no one knows that better than Luke Nelson. Luke survived a stroke while still in his mother's uterus, causing the nurses to refer to him as "the miracle baby." Because of the resultant brain injury, Luke's doctors suggested he would never be like other kids - able to run, or ride a bike, or go to high school. Yet his parents' faith, along with Luke's determination and positive attitude, proved them all wrong. But after accomplishing milestones that many never believed possible, the heart-wrenching pain Luke suffered from relentless bullying in high school caused him to even consider taking his own life.
