PO Box 5815 Harlan, IA guideposts.com 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. The situation seems hopeless. But what happens next is nothing short of miraculous. And what makes this story even more amazing is that it s TRUE. In fact, all 45 spellbinding stories in this new collection are true accounts of real people who face impossible odds, yet are saved by the grace of God in mysterious and surprising ways. It s called Rescued! True Accounts of Divine Intervention. And I want to personally invite to you to try it for 30 days! over, please...
