Key item features

Veteran EMT Andrea Rodgers has helped hundreds of people in their most vulnerable moments.

Some of the victims faced their mortality head-on and cried out to God for help. Many experienced fleeting but life-changing connections with their first responders. Often these crises became unexpected sources of inspiration.

Now Rodgers shares brief, real-life stories of heroic courage in the face of fear. In times of intense suffering, she has repeatedly witnessed signs of God's quiet intervention and healing presence.

  • A man is resuscitated after Rodgers was able to repair a defibrillator—with her teeth!
  • Several bystanders help rescue a young girl who is accidently buried alive in sand.
  • Rodgers also experienced some lighthearted moments, including the time she arrived at the scene of a crime only to find herself in the middle of a mystery dinner theater.

Experience the miracles, the life-and-death drama as you look at life from heaven's edge.

So happy I read this!

This is a wonderful book which made me both laugh and cry. It left me wanting more after each chapter. It is nicely written, making you feel engaged with and invested in the characters, and fascinating to think that every story is REAL. They are all written directly from the author's personal experiences on the first aid squad. I can't wait for book 2!

I Couldn't Put This Book Down!

“At Heaven's Edge: True Stories of Faith and Rescue” is a spell-binding compilation of true stories based on the author's personal experiences. I couldn't put it down! Some of the stories made me laugh, while others made me cry. I felt like I was right there in the action. I found myself wishing that the book wouldn't end.

Where You Don't Drive the Ambulance Alone

This wonderful collection of personal experiences during her long-time public service to the ill and injured is coupled with the author's reflections on her passionate faith. Each vignette places you on the scene and allows you to see how important our first responders are to us. With imagination and a gift for describing her own and her patients' thoughts, the incidents are brought vividly to life. Although focused on the author, she covers a wide range of accidents, chronic patients, and small town events in which we get to know the first responders -- and their adrenaline-driven emotions and aspirations for successful outcomes -- as if we worked alongside them at the scenes. Our family enjoyed this book very much and enthusiastically recommend it to anyone interested in the intersection of community service and personal values.
