Heaven Hears is a powerful, inspirational story that all should read.

DR. DANIEL AMEN

Physician, bestselling author, and co-architect of The Daniel Plan

I have known Pat and Shirley Boone for forty years, and I know that they know how to pray. When Ryan had the accident, Lindy and her family knew how to stand on the Word of God. As they prayed and believed God and didnt give up, miracles began to take place. When Jesus begins a good work, he will complete it. Heaven Hears will help you to know that nothing is too hard for God, and that you will win the battle, if you dont give up too soon. I salute this family.

DODIE OSTEEN

Cofounder of Lakewood Church, Houston, Texas

I have known Lindy Boone Michaelis since she was a young girl. She has the heart of a never-quit, never-give-up spiritual warrior that most people dont have. Anyone can have it, but most dont. The seed of victory was first planted in her by her parents, Pat and Shirley Boone, but the staying power that it takes to never accept defeat comes only from the Word of God and total commitment to stand on it, no matter what. Thats Lindy! She is a heroine of faith, not only for Ryan, but for her entire family. Heaven Hears is the story of that faith. You can have that kind of faith, but youll have to do what Lindy has done to get it. Read about it. Pray for her as you live it with her. Its an ongoing miracle that already has a marvelous outcome, but its not over yet. The best is yet to come. Here is the keyJesus is Lord!

KENNETH COPELAND

Founder of Kenneth Copeland Ministries

By every measure I know Gods Word to reveal, Heaven Hears stands as a beautiful, truthful, grace-filled testimony to the power of simple-yet-unrelenting prayer and faith in Gods love and his healing promises. The sheer fact of Ryan Corbins being alive today (not to mention his amazing and continual progress), joined to the unshakable constancy of his mothers and her familys ironclad refusal to surrender believing, give us a clear-cut testimony to a completely believable miracle-in-motion. Lindy Michaeliss story will stimulate practical, faith-in-action hope for any person in any situation.

As a pastor-friend who has observed this epic from the beginning, I urge readers: lift your eyes and open your heart to this truthGods changeless love and his Sons unchanging grace are for us all today. Heaven Hears gives us Ryan Corbins case study as a reminder and a call to embrace the eternal promise: All things are possible to those who believe!

PASTOR JACK W. HAYFORD

Chancellor of The Kings UniversityLos Angeles and founding pastor of The Church On The Way

Our son Steven was the person directly behind Ryan when he fell through the skylight, a day which changed all of our lives. We have witnessed this tragic near-fatal accident, this miracle of recovery, and this family that refused to believe anything but the best possible recovery. If ever a mother and family willed and prayed someone to stay with them for a higher calling, it was Lindy, her family, and the Boone family. They did this for Ryan. As someone has said, Prayer is the greatest wireless connection. The Boone family had this connection and have kept it blazing for years! A true account of the power of prayer and the power of faith, hope, and love!

BILL AND TANI AUSTIN

Lindy Boone Michaelis, in her beautiful book Heaven Hears, reminds us that prayer is powerful. God knows us and the tiniest details of our lives, and even when its hard to understand why we are in a difficult situation, we know that he is able to take our brokenness and reconstruct something with beauty and purpose. Heaven hears all of our cries and sighs, our pleas and petitions, and our praises and rejoicing. I believe this book will touch your heart.
