Reseña del libro "A Walk Through Tears: One of the Greatest Miracles in Modern Times (en Inglés)"
In 1961, Dot and Elias Roberts welcomed the birth of their only son, Ricky. Yet, as Ricky entered this world, Satan launched a conspiracy against the Roberts' family. From infancy Ricky suffered a host of medical problems. He experienced frequent convulsions, temporary paralysis, borderline nervous breakdowns, and was diagnosed with severe mental retardation and dyslexia. The public school system turned a blind eye to Ricky's disabilities and passed him from grade to grade even though he couldn't read a word. At night Dot heard her son ask God to heal him. In the morning, she'd find his pillow wet with tears. Frustrated and determined to help her son, Dot had Ricky tested and hired tutors, but to no avail. Ricky could not learn. She pulled him from public school and placed him in a special education class at a private Christian school where he remained until he was sixteen years old. Over the Christmas break in 1977, Ricky attended a tent revival meeting with his parents in Jacksonville, FL. The preacher called Ricky up to the platform and told him, "If your mother will stand on faith and put you in the tenth grade, God will fill in the foundation!" Sixteen-year-old Ricky instantly felt light flooding the dark tunnel of his mind. The next day, Dot called up the school, screaming, "The Lord has healed my boy! Put him in the tenth grade!" The school agreed to have Ricky tested and found he had knowledge of subjects to which he had never been exposed. The school permitted him to enroll in tenth-grade classes on a trial basis. Ricky not only excelled in his studies, he soon began tutoring some of the mainstream students who had once mocked him. In 1981 Ricky graduated with honors near the top of his class. Ricky's healing was complete and instantaneous. To this day, he has kept what God graciously gave him. Today, Dr. Ricky Roberts has several earned doctorate degrees, and a Ph.D. in Old Testament Studies. He graduated summa cum laude with a 4.00 GPA. Ricky is the founder of True Light Ministries, a teaching and healing ministry based in Jacksonville, Florida, and Douglas, Georgia. Behind Dr. Roberts' incredible healing is the story of his mother's anguish, despair, and steely faith. Walk alongside Dot Roberts as she wades through the family tragedies and chaos that Satan used to try and derail her faith and steal God's promises. O eyes, no eyes, but fountains fraught with tears; O life, no life, but lively form of death. -Thomas Kyd
