An 11:59 Experience is when you have come to the end of yourself and all of your natural abilities. It''s a time when nothing and no one can help you. The circumstance can make you feel helpless, hopeless or even desperate. The situation may be physical, financial or even emotional. You are in a dilemma. The only solution is a Miracle which you can''t perform nor anyone else, except God. God created time and put us in it. Our lives are regulated and driven by it. If we call on God during those stressful seasons, will He come through in time, we wonder? Sometimes we feel so over whelmed, that we forget that not only CAN God help us, but that He WANTS to and WILL intervene on your behalf. He has a purpose for every 11:59 experience you encounter. Author Bio: Jacqueline Renee has a heart for those who are hurting and have forgotten or have not yet experienced that God is a present help in times of trouble. Jacqueline uses the stories of familiar Bible Characters as well as her own testimony to awaken the reader''s awareness of their own 11:59 experience. We''ve all had them and God used Jacqueline to write this book to remind us that He truly is the same, yesterday, today and forever.
