Twice Dead: The True Death and Life Story of Roman Gutierrez

When Roman Gutierrez was eleven years old, his father died from a heroin overdose. Roman resolved, in his anger and his pain, that someday God would take him the same way. He became an addict, went to juvenile detention for stealing a year later, and attempted suicide the year after that. At fifteen he got into a fight and was pronounced dead for six minutes. At nineteen he was stabbed by his best friend and pronounced dead for five minutes.
