Book Description
Written from the heart, ‘U Turn, God Turns’ takes readers deep into the
fascinating life of the author - whose self-destructive tendencies riddled him
with disease, debt, unemployment, and a secret boulevard lifestyle. Through
Robinson’s unwavering belief in God and His gifts, he was saved before passing
the point of no return. This author’s life story and bold wisdom inspires
readers to make a U-turn on their own dead-end boulevard to prosper like they
never thought possible.
Sample Chapter
Exhausted, I managed to get my date home before dawn. Soon the mists would
begin to dissipate to make way for the light of day. While driving home, the
Lord put me in a deep sleep. The car accelerated over a small bridge, crashed
into a tree, and strategically landed in a shallow creek so that no one passing
on the main street above could see me. While out of human sight, the Lord kept
me on His divine radar. As I awakened and discovered being trapped inside the
mangled vehicle, the Lord lifted me from the wreckage onto the main street,
gave me a glorious glimpse of paradise, and allowed me to travel eastward
toward the sunrise.
My steps became slower as my breathing difficulty intensified. When I
didn’t recall walking, the Lord carried me in His loving arms through a busy
intersection and planted me near a church where I was quickly discovered and
taken around the corner to my parent’s home. This was the last thing I
remembered for some moments.
When my eyes popped open from those moments, I was in ICU at Hillcrest
Medical Center with my family looming over me. I felt their sadness and their
love; however, the Lord’s love was the most prevalent in the room. Just as
Jesus was raised from the dead on the third day, I was raised from ICU on the
third day and moved to a regular room.
It was in this room where I discovered my body was stapled just as I had
done so many times to paper with a stapler. Now, I was like the paper and the
doctors had stapled me! The staples were necessary following the emergency
surgery to mend me from a ruptured spleen and a collapsed lung. One of my
fingers was broken and I suffered severe head trauma with cuts and bruises all
over my body. After all, when I arrived at the hospital, I was only given ten
minutes to live.
