Previous book contributors such as United Coconut Planters Bank chair Menardo Jimenez, GMA 7 directors Laurie Jimenez and Annette Abrogar, and Sonya’s Garden proprietor Sonya Garcia were also present.

Moving testimonials from special guests made the event doubly inspiring. Broadcaster “Kuya” Kim Atienza talked about how a stroke and Guillain-Barre Syndrome made him turn to God.

An advocate of integrative medicine, former Department of Health Secretary Jaime Galvez Tan spoke about his popular “Resetang Walang Gastos” campaign and attaining wellness through positive thinking. Alden Richards, the handsome half of worldwide trending phenomenon “AlDub,” made a surprise appearance, to the delight of the crowd. The actor describes the monumental success of his career not as a coincidence but “a miracle from God through Jesus Christ.”

Conquest for Christ’s Kay Jimenez, “Beyond All Barriers” publisher, announced that all proceeds from the new book will be used to distribute Bibles.

A sixth “Coincidences or Miracle?” book is in the works.

“Beyond All Barriers” is available in some select National Bookstore branches. Call Conquest for Christ Foundation, 8470522 to 25 or 0917-8699562.
