I contracted meningococcal meningitis, When I was brought to the emergency room, I had such minimal brain function that I was not expected to live. Strictly by the grace of God, I survived, but I do have a few lingering effects make writing hard. These factors do make writing more difficult, but God spared my life for a reason. I used to be bitter about the bad start life had given me. I worked hard and built my world around my business and making a comfortable life. When I was in a coma with bacterial meningitis, I had an encounter with God. He talked to me about my life, and after returning me to consciousness, He helped me recover from the disease and the amnesia that wiped away 30 years from my memory. I know the love of a true father now, and He sent me back with a purpose. Douglas Knake had a driven passion for custom home building and prides himself on being an accomplished interior finish carpenter. He can honestly say that for years he had a love for designing and building homes. God has changed his passion and purpose in life, to sharing a story that only God can write. The story he tells reveals the struggle and hardships one encounters when God is not first in your life. Seeking what God has for you will change your direction and put you on a predestine path. His heart's desire is telling his story to people that are hurting and broken. His favorite scriptures in the Bible are Romans 8:28-31
