Description

This is the amazing story of one mans continued quest to prove that God exists despite his bipolar disorder. Crawford Buchan is dedicating his life to proving that God exists and as you will discover when you read the book he is not about to pass up on the wonderful gift he has been given as he is willing to make the ultimate sacrifice, if called upon, to prove that God does in fact exist.

This is the day the LORD has made, Let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118

About the Author

Crawford Buchan was born in Perth, Scotland in 1969. He was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder in 1998 and with a neurological disorder called Dystonia in 1997. In the summer of 1998 God found him and because he knew this beyond any doubt he agreed to be detained in a psychiatric hospital even though at that particular time he was not having a manic episode. You may think that this is denial but you would be wrong as Crawford readily admits that he has bipolar disorder and takes his medication daily but to this day he still maintains that he was put on this Earth to prove that God existed. He knows that not everybody will share his beliefs but the book not only tells the journey he has had with God walking alongside him but also his continuing fight with bipolar disorder and Dystonia. Crawford has survived two blood clots, two suicide attempts and he has been sectioned three times over the last twenty years, twice in the UK and once in America after witnessing a young girl being killed in a road accident. He was the last person to speak to her. One of the clots was on July the 9th 2012 when he had brain surgery as a last resort to help with the constant pain from his Dystonia. The post operation clot left him paralysed down his left side but since then he has not only got back to playing golf the game he loves but also he has written this his first book and given up his twenty five a day, twenty year smoking habit! For now anyway.
