REVIEWS


“Dear reader, I am so glad you chose this book! In it you will find a fascinating story of a mother, who boards an emotional roller coaster that tests her in every way possible, while her precious longed-forbaby struggles to survive. Walk with Olga as she relates her story of life, love, survival, and learning while on this path. Be uplifted…”

Marie Walters


“This was one of the most heart touching and hardest books to read. This book is not for the faint of heart. This book was a big eye opener for me as to understanding people who are going through a hard time in life. As I am related to Olga, as a sister, seeing them go through this scary time in their life, I did not fully comprehend the intensity of their pain and just how excruciating fragile everyday was for them until I read the book. It will be hard for you to read the book and not shed many tears. I can say their testimony forever changed my heart.”

Lana Mchedlidze


“This book is a wonderful source of encouragement for anyone who is going through a difficult time in their life and struggling with their faith in God. Olga’s story is a beautiful testament to the hope that exists in even the darkest of days.”

Taylor Hooper


“This is a heartwarming story of a couple that struggle with tough decisions that I’m not sure I would be able to make concerning their 4>th child. God’s grace and love and their strong faith makes this a book that you’ll not soon forget.”

Sandie Hollister


“I did not have the honor of knowing Elijah, but I have come to know his mother, Olga, and learned of the amazing impact his life had upon his family and the medical personnel. As told in detail by his mother, Elijah’s story broke my heart and lifted my spirit on every page. He was a warrior sent here to teach all of us the value of life, and the power of families to find faith, love, and joy even in the most heart wrenching circumstances. Within the pages of this book you will mostly likely weep when Elijah struggles to survive, and his parents make life or death decisions. Yet, you will also be inspired by the courage and faith of this family as they triumph over tragedy and move forward to serve others with love and compassion in their community.”

Kay Watson


“This book is a journey, filled with Love, Courage and Faith. Love not only for Elijah, but the love shown and shared by Olga and Oleg for each other and their children. Courage shown by Olga and Oleg to do everything in their power to save the life of their precious Elijah. Faith in our God that He would be with them through out this journey. This journey does not end with the final page… It continues.”

Joe Amaya


“Life is full of good times, love, hope and, sometimes, hard choices. Hopefully those hard choices happen only once in a lifetime, an overwhelming challenge of hope and faith… Having worked in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) for 38 years, I met and cared for, not only infants, but whole families. One family I will never forget immigrated from the Ukraine and Russia and were put into a world so very foreign from anything they had ever had to experience before. They had to put their trust in what Doctors and Nurses had to say. Oleg and Olga and their entire family were dealt a card no one would have wanted to deal with. I know this from my personal experience. Their story will capture your heart and soul, as they fought for the life of their premature son. Through this son, Elijah, they found more love and faith than they ever though was possible. I am honored to be part of this story.”

Life is a puzzle.

You never know what the big picture is going to look like.

You may think, here is the end of life,

but in reality – it is only the beginning.

INTRODUCTION


My name is Olga. This story is about my family, friends, and completely unfamiliar people, who miraculously appeared in our life and helped us during difficult times. I wrote this book for seven long years.

Writing this book has been everything but easy. It has taken time to reflect, understand, and to become completely at peace with the decisions we made and the actions we took. And to be completely honest, it was painful everyday as I recalled and wrote down memories, experiences, thoughts, and such personal conversation as we sometimes had to have. It was never easy for me to entrust my soul to paper. I even had to face family and friends who doubted the wisdom of sharing our story. They felt there were parts of the story which should not be told. I then faced a new dilemma: should I tell only part of our story or be truthful in every detail. I chose the harder way, to share our journey as openly and completely as possible.

Ultimately, I realized my story, told sincerely, would help other families in similar situations. This approach inspired me and gave me confidence I was doing the right thing. I know what parents feel in the midst of continuing crises. I have experienced their fears and their pleas for mercy in their prayers. I know they do not need pity. They need help and encouragement; support and assurance they are doing the right thing for their child; and never-ending love which gives them confidence to keep going.

Every page of this book was written by me with tears. In the process of working and examining what we experienced, I discovered a lot in myself, in my loved ones, and in my God. It is God that Oleg and I are grateful to for the experience and support we received throughout such a difficult time for our family. We have discovered that serious trials can become the foundation for future growth and success. Passing through the limits of physical and moral strength, we moved forward. Accepting from God both good and bad, we decided to rely entirely on Him, believing that He will lead us to a better future.

In fact, my book is a story of faith, hope, love, courage and, at the same time, worry for the future of our family. Under the weight of unimaginable stress, we made important and irreversible life and death decisions. It was a struggle and a challenge to everything we believed in and how we lived. Now, years later, we realize who we are and why we have experienced this life lesson. Over time, there was a clear understanding that we survived largely due to our large family, and the upbringing we received in our childhood. Our parents instilled the qualities in us which helped us cope with the tragedy. We realized that our life is firmly entwined with the subtle and inextricable thread of the past.

В мире есть много разных религий, разных учений и разных мнений. Вопрос о вине очень спорный. Многие учат, что вино пить нельзя. Другие, кто верят в ту же Библию и в того же Бога, говорят, что можно. А для кого-то это вообще и не является вопросом. Давайте заглянем, что же об этом говорит Священное Писание? По Симфонии здесь выписаны места из Библии о вине, сикере, и крепких напитках.
Чтить святым Шаббат – это четвёртая заповедь Господня. В этом буклете пошагово описано, как в Пятницу вечером встречать Шаббат, какие песни петь, какие благословения произносить над каждым членом семьи и как выходить из Шаббата.
Наступил момент в моей жизни, когда я решила исследовать: • Можно ли верующим хлопать в ладоши? • Можно ли играть на барабанах? • Что такое Лики? • Как нужно радоваться перед Богом? • Можно ли водить хороводы? Почему меня это заинтересовало? Потому что одни говорят можно, а другие нельзя. Я решила выписать все места из Писаний и узнать, что там об этом написано. К удивлению, я поняла, что мы так МАЛО ХВАЛЫ отдаём Богу. Пусть через этот буклет Бог

Эта книга – собрание совершенно разных текстов. Я намеренно не ставил себе целью создать какой-то один «правильный» сюжет, соблюсти единую концепцию текста и т.п. Я всегда считал такие вещи лишними; да и не для такого формата они, по крайней мере, какой предлагаю я. Однако, закончив книгу, я убедился, что все-таки сюжетная линия мною тактически соблюдается, буквально лезет наружу, помимо моей воли. Значит так должно быть. Если вы вдруг внимательн
Главное действующее лицо этой красочной повести, – говорящий попугай Валера, – персонаж отнюдь не выдуманный. Славная птица, обладающая поистине уникальными способностями: поразительным музыкальным слухом и умением в самый драматический момент сказать нужную фразу – реально существует. Только представьте, попугай Валера, «обитающий» на страницах этой книжки – настоящий! Впрочем, как и эта история, приключившаяся с ним однажды летом.
Это вторая книга в творчестве автора. Притча – слово Мастера, живое послание от сердца к сердцу, передающее духовный опыт, наставление. Это открытая дверь в мир мудрости. Притчи призывают к осмыслению сути жизни, раскрывают тайны и загадки Творца, помогают человеку на пути самопознания. Притча – многослойное повествование, содержащее несколько вуалей. Притчи перечитывают много раз, раскрывая с каждым разом новую глубину послания. Книга для широко
