Product Description
The need for an inspiring account of the bone marrow transplant process is great! Analisa’s incredible story will leave many to consider the value of spiritual strength as a means for facing life’s unpredictable challenges. “While myriad books treat survival from a medical standpoint, 11th Hour Miracles! does so from a unique viewpoint involving religious faith,” says New York Times best-selling author Ellen Tanner Marsh, “…an approach that sets her account far apart from similar ones.” “It is a moving experience that will help others understand what we transplant doctors see every day, namely the extraordinary strength of the human spirit.” -- Stephen D. Nimer, M.D. Analisa’s amazing story includes the miraculous blood match of her missionary brother living 3,000 miles away in Peru, the tremendous setbacks she undergoes, and the triumphs that finally lead to a full and complete recovery. She reveals how love, faith and the medical staff at UCLA really do bring about 11th hour miracles! |

A journey toward tomorrow. by T. HANLEY  5 Stars
May 31, 2007
Analisa is a woman of remarkable determination, faith and strength. I first met Analisa when she and Brian moved to our area shortly after completing her transplant and we worked together for several years in our church. My greatest joy was watching her regain strength followed by her and Brian receiving their two baby boys into their family. It has been a difficult journey for Analisa, but if you knew her, you would understand how and why she survived, as she is "tiny but mighty". This book is a great narrative and would be an inspiration to anyone who must undergo a bonemarrow transplant or any other difficult medical procedure. Where there is faith there is hope--and miracles. Well written and inspiring.

Compelling by Paul Nielsen 5 Stars
May 02, 2007
Anna's account of her ordeal is uniquely her own. Her account is pitch perfect-- an honest and uniquely personal telling of her grueling struggle both to live and to reclaim her life. She is everyman, or woman as the case might be, tempored in the crucible of personal struggle against overwhelming seemingly incontestable circumstance.
I must tell you that I know Anna and Brian personally, I know about her struggle with cancer and her effort to write about it. I often wondered if the world needed one more survivor book. If so, this is that book. You won't need to know them going in because you'll soon get to know them through their own eyes and in your own heart. You'll know yourself a little better too. Just be prepared to read for a while because once you start, you won't put it down. Paul Nielsen
