Produktbeschreibung
At the age of 70, Guy Davidson was headed into his golden years with ambitious, awe-inspiring future plans. With 50-plus years of local and international ministry alongside his beloved wife, Martha, health and life were on track. Nothing was going to slow them down! Then, the unexpected happened. A catastrophic stroke turned Guy's world upside down. Life, as he and Martha knew it, was over. Suddenly, Guy found himself unable to speak, walk, or move, with temporary vision impairment. Entering this "Stroke World" instigated a fundamental shift in his physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual well-being. Martha was instantly thrown into the world of constant round-the-clock Caregiving. In the aftermath of his stroke, Guy and Martha faced a choice. Resign themselves to a bitter end-of-life experience or place their hope in God, pressing forward through years of grueling rehabilitation. They were stuck between a question mark and an exclamation point. Where was God? Why did He allow this to happen? With determination, grit, and firm dependence on God, Guy and Martha chose to remake their lives and chart a path of recovery. Through countless ups and downs, multiple strokes, and medical emergencies, they persevered through the unthinkable with God by their side. Penned by the late Guy Davidson and co-authored by Martha Davidson, When the Unexpected Happens shares the heartache and lessons learned through their journey through life's worst moments. Whether you are a stroke survivor, a Caregiver, or are trudging through a life-altering situation, you will be encouraged, emboldened, and strengthened-to keep looking up with hope when life brings you down.
Autorenporträt
Guy and Martha Davidson dedicated their lives to local and international ministry. Serving for over 50 years, Guy and Martha founded several churches, including Grace Community Church in Tempe, AZ, in 1967. Known for his kindness, sense of humor, authenticity, and fun-loving spirit, Guy was an advisor, trusted friend, and beloved Shepherd Pastor. In 1969, Martha founded a ministry for women called "WOW"-Women of the Word. Drawing hundreds of women weekly, it became one of the largest women's ministries in the country. After suffering a catastrophic stroke in 2000, Guy's determination and faith provided an enthusiastic example of how to live joyfully amidst devastating adversity. Martha became Guy's loving Caregiver, coming alongside him over the course of his long recovery and subsequent strokes. Years after his initial stroke, Guy began writing what would become "When the Unexpected Happens: Looking Up With Hope When Life Brings You Down." The book was co-authored, compiled, and completed by Martha Davidson in January 2024.
