MAITLAND, FL— Within the pages of Craig Stephen Smith and LaDonna J. Smith’s new book, Miracle at Mile Marker 313 ($19.49, paperback, 9781629521299; $9.99, e-book, 9781629521305) is the true story of severe trauma, deep trials, and how this couple’s faith in the timeless truths of God’s Word sustained them and their family in their deepest time of need. The book chronicles Craig and LaDonna Smith’s near-fatal auto accident, the struggle for Craig to survive as he clung to life in a trauma ICU unit for nearly two months, and their subsequent long road to recovery.

“We have learned that God is in the disasters experienced by His children, and that there is a divine purpose in our pain and suffering,” states the author. “This book is all about hope; hope that is rooted not in our own faith, but in the Object of our faith—Christ, Himself!”

For over four decades, Craig and LaDonna Smith have been in full-time ministry work. Throughout their years of service, this Native American couple (Craig is Ojibwe and LaDonna is Navajo) has been bringing the hope of the Gospel to literally tens of thousands around North America, and in over a dozen countries worldwide. That hope was severely tested in this accident, but the Smiths continued to place their hope and trust in Christ, through this deep traumatic experience. Through it all, they found out that Jesus never fails. The Smiths echo the words of the late Corrie Ten Boom, “You’ll never know Jesus is all you need, until Jesus is all you have.”
