Book excerpt: Author Jonathan Prawiromaruto has been forced to confront his own mortality all his life, as he was born afflicted with kidney failure. Even so, thanks to the faith in Christ instilled in him by his loving Christian parents, Jonathan continues to thrive as a living witness to the power of hope and faith. His story has been the source of limitless inspiration to many who may have lost sight of their dreams, but his ministry has only just begun. Now, at nineteen years old, Jonathan has risen to a new challenge to produce his autobiographical testament to the power and willingness of God to work miracles in the lives of his children. He writes with the belief that each individual is uniquely and especially created by God to fulfill his plan. Only you can fulfill the task you were created for, so never lose hope. Don't give up on your dreams. Rise up and make them real!
