Her husband Ralph had been begging her to see a doctor. She was losing weight, growing weaker by the day. But their daughter's wedding was coming up, and Porter had DIY decorations to finish. She could make it just a little longer.

"I got so weak that I had to hold on to the furniture to walk," Porter recalled. "Ralph continued saying, 'I'm watching you get sicker and sicker. We've got to get you to a doctor.' I refused."

One day, she collapsed in her kitchen. Within 24 hours of arriving at an Abilene hospital, doctors delivered devastating news: acute liver failure. And they couldn't help her there. "You are in acute liver failure, and there's nothing we can do for you here in Abilene," she remembers them saying. "You've got to go somewhere else, to a bigger hospital." 

What happened next became the story Porter felt compelled to share in her new book, "Walking in Grace: One Woman's Story of Miraculous Healing by the Power of God," now available on Amazon.

Pam will be doing a book signing at Texas Star Trading Company in Abilene Texas on March 21st starting at 1:00 pm.
