Client Release: A Life Transformed—By Accident

Announcing the release of A Life Transformed—By Accident, by Helen Decker Liere.

Helen Liere found out how life-changing an ordinary day can be. When returning from presenting a workshop, she was nearly killed when struck head-on by an out-of-control pickup truck. The reader will discover through her spellbinding storytelling:

• how difficult it was for this very independent woman to become totally dependent
• what parts of her life were lost forever
• what character traits helped her survive and recover
• the role family, friends, and church played in her recovery
• what saved her from financial ruin
• what she wished she had known before she left the hospital
• what happened to her faith
• how she discovered what really matters in life

Life can change in an instant, but Liere knows that she is now ready for what tomorrow may bring. Her physical loss has truly been her soul’s gain.

For book clubs and faith study groups there is a study guide at the end of the book that will provide for the readers’ discussion of the insights gained from this inspiring story.

Helen’s book can be purchased for $14.95 through Outskirts Press.
