ABOUT THE BOOK I was diagnosed with a rare kidney disease in my teenage years. My loving wife donated her kidney to me, but the Lord had other unforeseen plans. Join me on our journey. I will tell you our story and many unbelievable supernatural miracles we witnessed, become your voice from the dialysis chair, bring you my extensive practical experience with kidney disease, and take you on my journey from a rock bottom of disappointment to the growing faith of understanding the Lord's plan. My story is an honest attempt to pull back the curtain on real-life challenges, overcoming difficulties, finding truths, and growing a deeper faith. I hope that you find comfort and validation in what you might be experiencing yourself and to find strength and solid faith that may have been hidden from your eyes deep inside your inner being and within your own grasp. My story is a story of hope and discouragement, fear and strength, denial and embrace, faith and mistrust, miracles and letdowns, and weakness and supernatural strength. My story is your story, told one needle at a time. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Ihab Botros was born in Alexandria, Egypt, in June of 1972. At the age of twenty-three, he moved to Ontario, Canada, where he married his wife, Dahlia. They currently live in Mississauga, Ontario. Ihab, a professional software engineer, holds a degree in computer engineering from Alexandria University. He is also a graduate of the Royal Schools of Music, previously a piano teacher, church organist, and enjoys sharing his love of classical music as a chorister with local choirs. He last held the position of product management director at one of Canada’s largest telecommunications companies before he was placed on long-term disability. Ihab was diagnosed and lived with kidney disease since his teenage years. In 2011, he experienced end-stage kidney failure and underwent multiple life-sustaining kidney dialysis methods. Eventually he received a living kidney transplant from his loving wife. Unfortunately, her donated kidney, attacked by his disease, failed only three days later. He was immediately placed on hemodialysis for life support and remains today on hemodialysis.
