When death calls your name, what kind of person were you? Were you the kind of person who devoted their time to others or did you simply exist? Are you worthy of a peaceful afterlife? One evening, Rebecca sends her car flying through a guardrail and down the side of a rocky cliff. When she wakes up, she knows that she is no longer alive. Jesus greets her, telling her that she has finally returned home. A feeling of peace and warmth falls over her as she has never known before. Rebecca doesn't understand why she has been chosen for heaven. She thought she was nothing extraordinary during her life. She didn't go out of her way to help people. Going to church on Sundays was sporadic, she didn't support the missions, and she did not think she offered her life to others. There was nothing remarkable to show the world that she had done anything more than simply live and die. Or so she thought. While Rebecca sees her life as a failure, there are others who see her life as a success. There is no way of knowing how many lives you changed while you were alive, but Rebecca is about to find out. Join Rebecca as she finds out how she truly changed people's lives and made a huge positive and remarkable impact on the world. * Learn how an average insignificant seeming person can do great things " See how you can "Pay it forward" in your own life " An inspiring and compelling book * A tear-jerking story. Have tissues ready >An excerpt from the story "Did you see the outfit Ashley was wearing today? It looked like she needed a shoehorn to get it on." Seventeen-year-old Lauren said and started to laugh. Everyone at the table started laughing, too. "I know, I don't know why she doesn't go on a diet. Why would she let herself get that fat?" I mean, just stop eating already, right?" Miranda said, shrugging her shoulders. Jaycee rubbed her hands together. "She'd have more friends if she didn't look like such a pig, right? Like, who wants to be seen with her when they go out places? It's like embarrassing and all. I know I would be anyway, I don't know about you guys." Rebecca had had enough. "Guys, listen to me, she has a medical problem and has to take medication. The medication saves her life, but it causes her to gain weight. She eats no more food than you or I and she tries to exercise more than we do. She can't help it. We should be her friend and give her support and encouragement, not be her enemies and talk mean and cruel behind her back. Jaycee cocked her head to one side. "She really can't help it and doesn't eat a lot?" "NO, she doesn't. She really can't help it." "Oh man, that's tough. I feel bad I came down so rough and judgmental on her." Jaycee said, furrowing her eyebrows. Lauren looked down at the table. "I guess my comment was really mean. I shouldn't have said it." Miranda looked around the table and then stared down at her hands. "I guess I should be more embarrassed at my comment than being embarrassed by being seen with her. I'm awful, I guess." Jaycee looked across the room. "Hey look, she just came into the lunchroom and is sitting over there. Why don't we invite her to sit with us?" Rebecca smiled and stood up. "I will go and get her."
