ABOUT THE BOOK:
Sarah Harper is driven to achieve success no matter what the cost. She wants to do good and not hurt the people she loves--especially children and her husband, Joe--but her desire to succeed in her career too often leaves little time for family.
One cold, autumn afternoon, all of that changes when Sarah's car plunges off a bridge and into a river. She is presumed dead by those on the "outside," but Sarah's spirit is still very much alive. What she discovers on the other side transforms everything about Sarah's view of life--past, present, and future.
When Sarah is revived, she is a changed woman. And the unsuspecting world around her will never be the same again.

I haven't read anything by Bedford yet, but Joyce Meyer is awesome. As someone who detests the vast majority of televangelists - especially the charlatan "buy my blessings" types, I WILL stop when clicking thru channels and seeing her on and listen. She's a spot on realist tell it like it is preacher and I can only imagine her books are of the same quality.
Thanks for the heads up!

I hope you'll be able to do an interview with Bedford and Meyer. I'm always interested when two authors work together on a project - how they did it, what parts each one handled, how they communicated if they don't live nearby, etc. I've written one manuscript with a co-author. The writing went well. The editing was another story.

This sounds like a book that I would enjoy. Thanks for the preview, I will add it to my list!
Sounds like an interesting premise. Will add it to my ever expanding list of books I want to read.
Diane, where do you find all the fantastic authors you feature?
Best,

Sorry, Helen, I just post for CFBA, so no opportunity to interview Joyce. (Not that I wouldn't love to do so!)
