True Accounts of Divine Intervention

“Oh, God, I prayed,
please help us. Please!”
… the water rose and soon was up to our hubcaps.
Suddenly a huge wall of water came crashing down
upon us from the hills beside the road.
Reuben and I looked at each other in terror.
Turning quickly, I could see Plum Creek directly
behind us, now a roaring, torrential mud flow.
“Reuben,” I screamed above the roar of the
water, “we’re going into the flood!”

Dear Guideposts Friend,
Reuben and Priscilla Oman had expected a little rain that day,
but never imagined the terror they would face.
As they drove south on Highway 85, a sprinkle turned into rain.
Then the rain turned into a downpour. As the wind became a near
tornado, they realized this was no ordinary storm.
The car swerved back and forth. Ahead of them they could see
cars sliding off the road. Suddenly a wall of water came crashing
down on them from the hillside. They looked at each other in
terror as the car was lifted up and swept backward toward a creek
that had turned into a roaring, torrential mud flow.
“We’re going into the flood,” Priscilla screamed. They held
hands and said a prayer as water and mud poured into the car,
pinning their legs, and jamming the doors. “I guess this is it,”
said Priscilla.

truck flips over and careens directly toward you? What would you do
if you found yourself hanging by a thin rope, trapped for hours 40
stories above the ground?
These stories happened to real people and they all lived to tell
about their fear, their faith, and ultimately their rescue. But these

Dear Friend,
I’ve never been adrift at sea, trapped in quicksand, or caught in a tornado. Though
I have to confess that after reading the stories in Rescued!, I feel like I have experienced
these dangerous situations and dozens more.
From the father and sons who get lost in a dark cave to the couple suddenly swept
into a violent flash flood to a stranded missionary group helped by a man who appears
out of nowhere, each of these stories took me on an exciting and suspenseful journey, and
showed me how God can use these experiences to change our lives. And I think you’ll feel
the same way.
The people are real. Every event is true. And while ultimately there are happy endings,
I guarantee every story will make your heart race and keep you on the edge of your seat.
You’ve never read anything quite like Rescued! You will find yourself energized,
entertained, and full of wonder at the marvelous and mysterious ways God intervenes
in our lives.
