Nine Lives to Eternity tells of my real-life brushes with death, not only once but several times throughout my lifetime.

Produktbeschreibung
Nine Lives to Eternity tells of my real-life brushes with death, not only once but several times throughout my lifetime. The title was inspired by the nine lives of a cat, which I have certainly lived several times over with the numerous death-cheating situations I continually experienced. And as superstitious as I am about certain things, I started counting the times I have cheated death in my life, and my jaw dropped when I realized that I have survived an unbelievable twenty-seven lives through prayers, luck, faith, and possibly a guardian angel or two (or more)! With this knowledge, I wrote this book to give witness to the strength of my Christian faith and the wonders of divine spiritual intervention. In all these near-death experiences, I have been blessed to experience instances where I have felt not only God by my side, but I felt his influence to save my life literally and miraculously. From a tender age of nine months to the prime of my life at fifty-five years of age, my habitual death-cheating escapades have not been painless nor left me unscathed. I survived an accidental poisoning when I was a baby. I survived seven different machinery and equipment mishaps while working on our family's farm that resulted in a fractured leg, bruises all over my body, and several tractor troubles. I have also avoided horse and mule disasters no fewer than five times. Even my passion in motorcycle riding brought me not only the greatest pleasure, but also five singular accidents that nearly ended my life several times-the last one being the greatest and most painful one that required several surgeries and months of recovery. But it does not end there. I have escaped toxic fumes, death threats while working in third-world countries, fallen from a rooftop, and nearly crashed an airplane. Nine Lives to Eternity will tell an honest-to-goodness story of a life fraught with near-death situations but saved, several times over, by my strong faith in God and belief that the reason why I survived up to now is that God is not yet done with me, that my life has a purpose and a mission that I have to fulfill.
Autorenporträt
Scott D. Gottschalk was raised on a farm in southeastern Minnesota near the small village of Byron. While obtaining a Bachelor of Science Degree with a double major in Animal Science and Agriculture Education, he began writing his first nonfiction book. The Folk and Their Fauna, the story of one man's love affair with animals, has been a people favorite with the ever-escalating popularity of animals in America. Following a horrendous motorcycle collision that placed him in the throes of death, he wrote a second nonfiction book. Few people have experienced even one close encounter with death, yet Scott has somehow cheated death a phenomenal twenty-seven times. He attributes much of his survival towards divine intervention. Throughout his existence, people have continually remarked that he has the uncanny "nine lives of a cat", but in truth, Scott has actually survived an amazing nine lives three times over! Nine Lives to Eternity, a true story of repeatedly cheating death; an inspirational and faith-driven human triumph, has truly made an impact on readers around the world. This life-affirming book outlines each of the author's twenty-seven brushes with death. Scott believes in guardian angels because he's personally been touched by angels. Within this book, one can delve into the macabre dark side with plots that twist and turn. It is a menagerie of short stories covering many popular genres including horror, science fiction, and suspense/thriller. Terrifying Tales Unleashed is his most recent release, a fiction book which was as entertaining for him to write as it has been for others to read.
