The man and others believed he was taken over by a holy angel to work miracles in the psych ward. Two college students doing a research project find more than they expected...much more. Review and 'favorite author' welcome!When people experience a life-shaking event, whether religious conversion, near death experiences, or other tumults of life, they often come out changed to the point where you wonder if they are the same person.
