Praise God for Tattered Dreams by E.E. Laine ~ www.lulu.com/product/paperback/praise-god-for-tattered-dreams/5303153?productTrackingContext=search_results/search_shelf/center/1 If not for the massive stroke I had when 33, my heart and mind probably would have remained closed to Jesus Christ. Instead, with Our Savior leading the way, God prompted me to write Praise God for Tattered Dreams, a memoir describing the role He plays in my ongoing recovery & guiding my post-stroke priorities. - E.E.
