This is the story of a boy raised during the Great Depression and how his family survived. Vernon tells of his acceptance of messages from angels as the guiding force of his life. These messages empowered him to find the love of his life, to graduate from college and to become a CPA, to raise a family, to teach at a university, and to survive many near-death situations. In addition, these messages enabled him to author a tax manual, and to travel to fifty states and forty foreign countries. But, most importantly, his angels inspired him to become a physical healer, who would contribute countless hours, without expectation of return, to whomever he believed was divinely sent to him. Vernon's journey reflects the gift to him from the Holy Spirit, a Divine message that, over the next forty-one years, he should record his miraculous journey in a book for others to ponder. Vernon now faces the biggest challenge of his life: a diagnosis on April 3, 2014, of stage 4 metastasized LMS cancer. He refuses to accept mainstream medical solutions. Instead, he continues living life to the fullest by writing this book, playing golf, and relying on his angels' messages to guide him through the rest of his journey.
