When No One Else Believed is an amazing story of faith and miracles. The author of this novel, Ron Tripodo, has written in first-person the account of his wife's healing. Patsy, his wife, had contracted HSE. HSE is herpes simplex encephalitis. She was in a coma for weeks. The doctors said that her case was very severe and they only gave her a 10% chance of survival. As she is put on life support, Ron hears God speaking and telling him that He will heal her. As the story unfolds there are many struggles. Ron is trying to keep his business going while visiting and making decisions for his wife. He enlists the help of a dear friend, Linda. At the time Ron hears God saying that He will heal Patsy, Ron gets a call from his car dealer. He has purchased a new car for his wife every year or two. Ron goes ahead and tells the salesman to order a new car for Patsy. This begins his journey of faith and believing his wife would be healed. Does Patsy get healed? Will her quality of life be worth all the work she has to go through?

I thoroughly enjoyed everything about this tale. As a Christian, I believe in miracles and found this story completely believable. I do not feel that those who do not believe in God would be offended. The author does not continually push his beliefs on the reader. Through his recollection of this very trying time, we can see how important his faith was. He also brings into focus how important it is to have a supportive community of friends.

There was not one thing I disliked in When No One Else Believe. The book was edited professionally, as seen by the lack of errors. There was no mention of sex or any inappropriate language.

I rate this amazing novel four out of four stars. The storyline was very easy to follow. It was well-written and professionally edited. I found his story to be told in such an interesting manner that I was immediately invested into the characters. When I had finished reading this book, I felt remarkably hopeful. It was a very uplifting account of a difficult time in the author's life.

This novel would be appropriate for all age groups to read. The message in this tale is one faith and hope. I believe anyone who reads this book will be filled with hope and feel good. The entire chronicle of Patsy's illness shows the resilience of the human spirit.

This kind of book is a miracle, i like this one better. Because as a christian it helps me motivate and go on with my life. Whatever trials i may encounter everyday, Even in my emotions and my mental being tested, but once you have a strong spiritual contact with God everything will be okay. Like this characters in the book that their lives has been tested, but still they managed to hold on and beleived because they know that they have a bigger God than whatever trial they encounter.

This book is an inspiration to believers. No matter what obstacle comes your way, still hold on to faith. God will come through for you amidst the circumstance. This novel is aceptable for any age group. When reading, I feel like I have more faith than I realised.

Thank you for your detailed review. The couple's story is inspirational. I think as long as people are alive, people should continue to live Life at its fullest; like when Ron was trying to keep his business going or when he went on to get the car for his wife. Keep Hope alive.

This novel is really inspiring spiritually, because by faith, everything is possible, as no-one can please God without faith, miracles do happen to us in many ways because of faith. This book is beyond believable things of testimony. Its best for faith strengthening, thanks Rod Tripodo

What an insightful review, It seems like a nice but sad book. And it is true support from family can be very important as we continue to live in the tragic world. We all need each other ❤️
