The event will take place at 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 11, at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott. Melissa Wilson, co-anchor for FOX 26 morning news, will serve as the event’s emcee and moderator of the conversation with Dr. Neal.

To Heaven and Back is an account of Dr. Neal’s own brush with death. A board-certified spinal surgeon, Neal drowned during a kayaking accident in 1999 while visiting Chile, but miraculously came back to life. The book describes her encounter with God, his all-encompassing love, and how that experience transformed her faith into a complete trust that the promises of God are true.

Proceeds benefit the NAM Endowment Fund and promote its mission to enhance the financial stability of NAM and provide security for its future.
