Breakthrough: The Miraculous True Story of a Mother's Faith and Her Child's Resurrection Kindle Edition
Through the years and the struggles, when life seemed more about hurt and loss than hope and mercy, God was positioning the Smiths for something extraordinary-the death and resurrection of their son.
When Joyce Smith's fourteen-year-old son John fell through an icy Missouri lake one winter morning, she and her family had seemingly lost everything. At the hospital, John lay lifeless for more than sixty minutes. But Joyce was not ready to give up on her son. She mustered all her faith and strength into one force and cried out to God in a loud voice to save him.
Miraculously, her son's heart immediately started beating again.
In the coming days, John would defy every expert, every case history, and every scientific prediction. Sixteen days after falling through the ice and being clinically dead for an hour, he walked out of the hospital under his own power, completely healed.
The Impossible is about a profound truth: prayer really does work. God uses it to remind us that He is always with us, and when we combine it with unshakable faith, nothing is impossible.

About the author
JOYCE SMITH was born in Wichita, Kansas, but because of her father's work for a tool and die company, she grew up in Ohio and lived in eight different states as well as Canada and Germany. She worked for 25 years in accounting, but feels her biggest accomplishment has been as a wife and mother--one of the toughest jobs, with the lowest pay but the most rewards of any job on the face of the earth. She and her husband Brian live in St. Charles, Missouri. They have four wonderful sons and five beloved grandchildren. Joyce keeps busy with school and basketball, enjoys cross stitch, crochet, and decorating, and loves speaking to audiences about what God has done for her family...and continues to do.

This book not only tells John's story of all the medical issues his body overcame, but it is a lesson in prayer, belief, and fighting spiritual warfare by speaking scripture.
Ginger Kolbaba did a beautiful job writing Joyce's story. If you doubt that miracles still happen today, you must read this story.
The book was much more faith-building than the movie because it clearly showed the battle to remain in faith for the miracle and showed step-by-step how that battle was won.
I’m very glad that I was able to read this book.
Learning God's word, learning what Jesus Christ did for us, learning that God's will is for His will to be done on earth just like it is in heaven, delivered me from depression, the deep dark pit of depression. I had to learn how to speak God's word and stop agreeing with the devil and repeating his words of death and fear. Love you bunches. Seek Him. Ask God to help you to learn how to think like He thinks. Read the Holy Bible. Pray and ask God to explain what you are reading, what it meant then, what it means now, and what you are supposed to do with it, in Jesus' name. Amen.
"by Whose stripes you were healed"! 1Peter2:24b
"you were healed" by Jesus' stripes, those stripes that He took on His body when they brutally beat Him on the whipping post. Jesus Christ redeemed us from the power of sin, the kingdom of satan, that Adam, our great grandfather, sold us into. There was NO man on earth free to redeem us from Satan's prison because every man born had Adam for a father. So God Almighty, our Father, sent His SON, Jesus Christ, to redeem us from Satan's power of darkness. That is WHY Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came. God was His Father, not Adam. Jesus Christ was without sin, He was not a prisoner of Satan. THEREFORE, He could REDEEM us from Satan's power of darkness. Sickness is apart of Satan's power of darkness.
The Lord Jesus Christ redeemed us, but we have to believe it without doubting. We have to hit the devil with the Word of God, we have to tell the devil that the Lord Jesus Christ redeemed us. God by sending Jesus Christ to take our place, to bear our sins, He delivered us from the power of darkness. God then transferred us into the kingdom of the risen Lord Jesus Christ who died to deliver us. We must testify to what the Lord Jesus Christ did for us. "Submit to God, resist the devil and he will flee from you." James4:7.
We submit to God by speaking what God's Word says Jesus Christ did for us. Christ has redeemed us from all the curse of the law. Galatians3:13.
Jesus said, "Behold, I give unto you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you." Luke10:19 . NKJV.
Love Joyce's testimony!!!! No doubt!
This book is an eye awakening experience to the power of prayer. Doctor's and scientist can try to explain away what happened, but only God could miraculously restart a heartbeat of someone who has been dead for over an hour and heal him completely. I highly recommend this book to everyone!!
