I Almost Died YA Know: A COVID God Story

In 2021, Shane Reed went into hospital with COVID. He was intubated. He didn't wake up for three weeks. Lung infection. Blood infection. Kidney failure. A coma. Paralysis. Machines breathing for him while his family waited and his church prayed and God, apparently, wasn't finished yet. I Almost Died Ya Know is the story of what happens in the dark - and what Shane found waiting on the other side of it. Raw, honest, and occasionally funny in the way that only near-death experiences can be, this is a book about suffering, about faith that gets tested down to the wire, and about a God who shows up in hospital rooms. If you've survived something that should have killed you, watched someone fight for their life, or wondered where God is when the machines are breathing for you - this one's for you.
Readers of this book will also find Shane's memoir Even Through the Cracks - the fuller story of a fatherless kid from a tough neighbourhood and the grace that found him anyway.
