Excerpt from
the Book
"It was September 11, 2001 - a
day whose events would change my life forever. I was destined by the
Lord to be one of those who survived the ‘Ground Zero' terrorist attack on the
Pentagon.
...Suddenly, I heard two, successive, loud,
blasts in front of me! I was in shock and disbelief as I felt the building
shudder and shake. I stood frozen in place as I looked up and saw the

the direction of the A-Ring! This was not logical! Natural reasoning
dictated I should go toward the E-Ring. Nonetheless, believing that God was
directing me, my colleague and I were among the first out the bay, and moving
toward the A-Ring toward the center of the Pentagon.
As we moved into the 4th
corridor, a clearer picture of danger unfolded! The air was becoming thick
with black and gray colored smoke. Debris was falling from the ceiling,
plaster was exploding out of the walls, and other materials from the
infrastructure were exploding onto the floor of the corridor. It looked like a
war zone!
Explosions continued and the
smoke became thicker by the second..."
