Thanks, Jack - In Need of A Miracle

Johnnie grew up in the shadows of Jack, an older brother who had died at the age of twelve. Johnnie's mother, who blamed herself for her son's untimely death, found solace when Jack returned to her in a vision to tell her that God was sending her another child to take his place. Johnnie was born two years from the day Jack died - literally - two years, to the day and to the minute. Johnnie was an adventure-seeking lad with an aptitude for getting himself into life-threatening situations, situations affecting not only his own safety but often the safety of others as well. He learned at an early age to thank his lucky stars that he had a guardian angel watching over him. Jack had made a pact with God to never again let his mother suffer the loss of a child, and had assumed the job of keeping Johnnie alive long enough to reach maturity. From relatively minor scrapes to a miraculous escape from a burning car, Jack never once let his mother - or his brother - down.ABOUT THE AUTHOR JACK ROSE hailed from Springfield, Massachusetts, married at an early age and moved to California to chase his dream of becoming a mechanical engineer.
