“With You” is the breathtaking true story of Joel Rogers _ minister, husband, father _ who collapsed in the middle of a Christmas outreach and flatlined five times in twenty-four hours. Told he has less than a 5% chance of survival, Joel’s body shut down, but his spirit held fast to one unshakable truth; God is with us _ even here. Through impossible medical odds, agonizing setbacks, and months of painful recovery, Joel discovered a deeper promise than prosperity or healing, the abiding presence of God in the midst of life’s most brutal seasons.
Part memoir, part meditation, “With You” is for anyone who has ever asked, “Where is God now?” It is an invitation to wrestle honestly with suffering, and to find the sacred in the struggle. Raw, hopeful, lifegiving! This is not just a survival story. It is a story of surrender, faith redefined, and the quiet power of the presence of God.
"This book will encourage you to fully trust God, regardless of the reports you receive, when His plan differs from yours."
Kevin McGlamery, Lead Pastor, North Cleveland Church of God
"My wife and I both work in medicine. When Joel's health crisis hit, we knew how serious it was. From a clinical perspective, survival was incredibly unlikely. But Joel didn't just survive; he came back with a deeper sense of purpose and faith. What we witnessed through his journey reminded us that God is still active, still healing, and still working miracles. This story isn't just about beating the odds. It's about the power of prayer, the strength of community, and the presence of God in even the most critical moments."
Dr. Andrew Strike, North Georgia Medical Center
