BUFFALO, N.Y., Feb. 5, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Miracles do happen. In Until I Hold You Again (now available through 1stBooks Library), author Jean Young realized the healing power of prayer and holding onto one's faith. A vivid retelling of a life lived fully under the watchful eyes of God, Until I Hold You Again furnishes readers with inspiring vignettes to aid them in conquering their own fears. The author asserts that, in a world replete with cynicism, opening up and holding onto one's beliefs may not be so bad after all.
Until I Hold You Again depicts the true story of a cancer victim, Albert Young, as told by his wife, L. Jean Young. She had a wrenching encounter and came face-to-face with God after being told by doctors that her husband had only a few minutes to live. Jean lets the reader in on the rollercoaster ride of her life, starting from her early years on a farm in North Carolina up to the time when she and Albert met, fell in love, and how she eventually coped with Albert's affliction. Spanning more than two decades of the couple's life together, this amazing testament of love and faith grows and builds with each chapter, through timely and reflective revelations.
Jean Young has crafted a brilliant treatise on how not to lose hope in the midst of hardships. Losing Albert to leukemia was difficult for the author to accept as she contemplated a life without him. In Until I Hold You Again she has magnified God's glory by deftly chronicling discourses she had with the almighty. In witnessing Young's life-altering experiences, readers are encouraged to engage God in conversations where they are to listen with the heart carefully and honestly.
L. Jean Young is a licensed and ordained gospel minister and Bible study teacher. She worked as a police officer for 24 years before retiring in 1997. She is also an in-demand motivational speaker and lecturer. Married to the businessman Albert Young, who owns and operates a family bakery, Young has three adult sons and nine grandchildren. Jean and Albert currently reside in Buffalo, New York.
