Oh My God, What's Next!

Book excerpt: In his first published book, "Oh My God, What's Next" he will share some of his life experiences with his readers and will inspire them to confront life's tragedies and disappointments with a positive and meaningful spiritual force. Edward "Eddie" Marella was born in Boston, Massachusetts on June 6, 1961.He was the son of an Italian-American family who resided in Quincy, Massachusetts. Early in Eddie's life he experienced several life changing events that forever impacted the way he viewed his future approach to life and religion. At the age of 12, while visiting his dying Grandmother, he witnessed his grandmother going through a near death experience. This was an overwhelming sight for him especially after upon awakening, she explained her experience to him. A few years later little did he know that he would directly experience what his grandmother did. At the age of 15 Eddie was in a severe motor scooter accident and was assumed dead by bystanders who saw the accident and were trying to help. This horrific accident and the near death experience that he went through would forever change his life and strengthen his religious beliefs. Later in life he again met with another serious and life threatening accident while swimming in Cape Cod. He was violently swept under an 18 ft. wave and somehow was miraculously saved and washed ashore unharmed. Eddie's lifelong experiences with near death and his battle against early stage cancer have been his inspiration to continually strengthen his belief in Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church. He attends Mass daily and is always ready to help others and to tell his story about how to strive for a healthy and happy life regardless of what life sends.
