“Zina’s future seemed bright. Popular and chosen to serve on the Multicultural/Multiracial council at school that year, she hoped to go onto college and to have a successful career. But one dark and rainy morning changed everything. Zina suffered a spinal cord injury and other fatal injuries from an accident. Flown to the University of Michigan Hospital via Survival Life Flight, it was through a nurse named Mary Kay, that God’s saving grace kept her alive. Her future was unpredictable, but God never left her side! He told her she would walk again. But she had a long road ahead.

A Spectacular Five-star Review:
“Zina shines brightly, yet humbly, just how beautiful of a soul she is within–and to–this world. Moreover, she conveys to each one who reads her blessed memoir that we have the very same opportunity she has been given by our great God to gravitate to where she has ascended in her full and loving relationship with Him and others in this world. This is only done with intentional, intestinal fortitude, as we must follow Zina’s faith-driven life model and humble ourselves to where we fully trust in and love the one, true, living triune God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) of the universe.
The light, love, life and joy of the Lord that long ago invaded and enveloped Zina’s heart, mind, and soul is so inspiring. I am convinced that all who have the privilege of learning more about our sovereign God through Zina in this book will feel Him reaching into their hearts and hear His desire that they draw into the oneness that Jesus prayed for all of us in John 17. A oneness that Zina has maintained and increasingly deepened despite her challenging circumstances.” Read more…

“Zina suffered a bad vehicular accident that changed her life when she was just a teenager. Her injuries were so severe doctors predicted she would not make it through the night, and they said that if she did the chances of a spine injury were very high. Despite her paralysis she bravely entered the real world, but the accident altered her life. She had to return to school her senior year in a wheelchair. When friends became scarce, she leaned on the Lord even more. The accident was only the beginning of her sorrows—loss and rejection were to follow. Zina may have lost her sense of identity for a short while, but she defeated the odds and not only walked again but became successful. Hope In the Storm is about how Zina has survived the unthinkable and she helps others to overcome as she’s still going through it. Through various journaling sections the reader is able to write or reflect. The reader will discover things about themselves that will leave them changed forever and bring them closer to God.”
Another glowing five-star review for Not Without God!
“Zina, thank you for writing such a beautiful, honest, and inspirational account of your faith in God, and how He’s guided you through your struggles, showed His favor over your life, blessed you in a career that you love, and surrounded you with people who have deeply impacted your life and belief in God.
Through your accident, you grew closer to God. You got to experience His peace and love, and far from blaming Him for what happened to you, and becoming embittered, you trusted that God knew what He was doing.
Your book really touched me, as I identified myself with your struggles on several levels.
I have also experienced health setbacks, and though I am not cured, I have managed to live a happy and fulfilling life despite my disorder. I have also come to know God through my struggles and have clung to Him as my life depended on it because it does.
Our faith makes us different. It separates us from the secular world we live in. We see things differently. We see God’s hand in everything that happens to us, even the bad things, for we know that everything will work out for the good of those who follow God’s ways.” Read more…
