Book Description

After suffering a life-changing trauma at the tender age of four when he found his infant brother dead in his crib, Dr. Rifkin went on a lifelong quest to know and understand the workings of God. His journey took him to northern California to study with the Beatles' guru and to Machu Picchu to study with Incan shamans. He lived in an Indian ashram for eleven years and studied Zen, yoga, and the occult But it wasn't until Jesus revealed himself that his pain was overtaken by the love and peace that only Jesus provides. Despite being raised Jewish, Dr. Rifkin fully embraced his Messiah and led many of his family to salvation. He has spent nearly forty years as a licensed therapist, helping others to repair their marriages and work their way through their own emotional pain. In 2011, his practice was interrupted when he learned that despite knowing Jesus and living a very healthy lifestyle, he inherited his family's genetic and devastating disease which destroys and eventually shuts down the functioning of both kidneys. Polycystic kidney disease had him on daily dialysis at home which exhausted him. His thirteen-year-old son would keep him company, all the while fearful that his father would die before finding a new kidney. To make matters worse, his wife of eighteen years no longer wanted to remain married. Feeling very alone, he turned to Jesus and was told by the Holy Spirit that he was about to be the recipient of a miracle. Then, eleven months later, after being prompted by the Holy Spirit, he put his request for a living donor on social media, and he received a perfect kidney from a complete stranger. Today, Dr. Rifkin is remarried to the love of his life and has recently learned that polycystic kidney disease has affected his liver to the point where he will need a transplant. After hours of prayer, he was reassured that he will be successful in this transplantation and looks forward to living out his life with his beautiful wife serving the Lord.
