Zach-Miracle-1-year-celebration-and-launch-party

Thursday, July 11, 2013 will be exactly one year from the date when Zach was struck down by lightning and left without heartbeat or breath for some 30 or more minutes. His family, church, and friends are throwing a huge party on this 1-year anniversary in celebration of Zach’s miracle of being raised to life. Coinciding with the celebration will be the book launch party for the new book about Zach’s miracle, written by his father, Russell “Bud” Sandy (published by WhiteStone Publishing).

There will be food, fellowship, fun, music (perhaps live), and the new book will be available! The event is scheduled to go from 4:00 – 9:00 pm at Clarksburg City Park (aka Norwood Park) in Nutter Fort, WV. (There is a time of prayer and thanksgiving planned before the party from 2:30 to 3:00 pm.) The event is open to the public, and all are invited. Join us!

The author/publisher team will be on hand, with copies of the new book available. Zach Sandy is sure to be there, and although he gives all glory to God and takes none for himself, you might be able to talk him into signing a copy of the book for you!

Click and print the attached poster, and put it up wherever it be noticed. Help us gain attention for this wonderful event.

You’ll scarcely be able to believe it. The book is rounded out with an array of photos. From the harrowing events and the glorious miracle of renewed life to the challenges faced in recovery, your heart will be touched by this compelling story.

When Zach first awoke after the sedation wore off, one of the first things he did was reach for his father and say, “Pray.”
