Fast paced, couldn't put it down, and read it in one setting!
The True Story of a Near Death Experience" drew me in, but the practical, spiritual lessons revealed through Mike and Sherry's stories brought so much more. Mike and Sherry's autobiography's are vastly different, but equally fascinating. God has brought so much goodness even from the pain of their divorces, which did not define them as they chose to admit wrongs, accept responsibility, and forge ahead with forgiveness and grace. Listening to the voice of God and responding, stepping out in faith, working hard, and watching blessings fall. Furthermore, not allowing discouragement and setbacks to paralyze them, but maintaining a firm reliance on the Holy Spirit's leading and a resolve to obey all the while recognizing God's sovereignty. An inspiring read and will leave you full of hope!

JANELLE HICKS Business Owner

God will bring meaning and abundance to our lives when we seek Him with our whole being
I was drawn to read this book because of the integrity of the authors AND because of Mikes view into eternity. Sherry and Mike Nichols are the real deal. They are passionate and focused about living a God-honoring life. I thank them for being so transparent and vulnerable regarding their personal struggles and victories. It is inspiring and helpful to me to know that if we give our heartaches to God, he will design it into a beautiful picture…

A truly inspirational story of God’s faithfulness in the lives of two of His adventurous children!
A great read that shares a true story of God’s faithfulness in the middle of significant challenge, when faced with determined faith and trust in God! Mike and Sherry are an amazing couple. It was my privilege to be their pastor for a season in this ‘bigger than life’ journey shared in the book! Life can be messy, but this story reminds us that God’s grace covers it all. What the enemy intends for evil, God turns for good. That truth resonates through the amazing quest to please God that continues to drive Mike and Sherry today! Enjoy!

    Our Blended Family Together

    All of us love to eat together, cruise and travel together and watch all kinds of sports together (especially the grandkids!) Even though we are a blended family there is a deep love and great joy between us all!  It has taken years of God’s grace and mercy and each of us wanting His will more than we wanted to be right to become whole as a family. Everyone of our kids has far exceeded us financially and in ministry for which we are very grateful.

    Mike and Sherry’s Siblings

    Sherry’s sister Karen and her deceased husband George.

    Karen was unable to have children.  She had bonus children from George’s previous life, but they also were very close to Sherry’s two daughters Aimee and Melissa growing up. George and Karen retired from the Orange County FL Sheriff’s department (definitely servants to others) and now Karen lives in North Carolina.

    No matter what you have been through. No matter how much you have disappointed yourself and others. No matter what others did to you, there is hope. Hope for an abundant life filled with joy. Hope for peace, significance, and purpose. And hope that when this life ends, we will move to heaven to be with Christ and all who loved God and went before us. Sherry and I have disappointed ourselves and others many times. We have sometimes felt betrayed and used. Sometimes it feels like the pressure God allows on us is too much to bear. Yet God has brought us through a thousand times. And in the process, has proven His faithfulness. God can be trusted in the dark. When it looks like all hope is lost. When He seems silent and distant. When we are sure what God will do and He does not do it. In those times, know that He is there. He is working on our behalf. He is bringing about something greater than we ever thought of. Trusting God when it is not easy is one of the great secrets of life. This book is about opening our eyes to see His love, His power, and His wisdom at work every day in our lives. Hopefully, in our story, you will see parallels to your story. Sometimes, the answers we seek are hidden in our everyday life. There is a great chance that because you are reading or listening to this, God wants to provide a turnaround anointing to restore hope in your life or someone you love.

    Mike has two sisters and a brother who are pictured with Sherry and I. My youngest sister, Jackie is on the left.  She is 14 years younger than me. Her husband Paul is in front of her. They live in Fort Wayne and some in Florida. They own a roofing business and work in Indiana and Florida. Jackie has been a server at Bob Evans for 20+ years. They have 3 amazing children! Next, of course is Sherry and I and then my other sister Pam.  She is two years younger than me. Her husband Dennis is seated in front of her.  Pam is a retired teacher and Dennis is a State Farm agent. They live in Union City IN (the little twin cities, as there is a Union City IN and Union City, Ohio).  Finally, my brother who is 9 years younger than me and standing behind him is his wife Shelli.  Shelli owns her own cleaning business.  Jeff is a high-level manager in the automotive industry.  They have 3 children as well.  The middle one, Jorden, went to be with the Lord in a tragic accident several years ago. All three are loved greatly.
