From Death to Destiny: A Story of Survival, Faith, and Second Chances

On April 28, 2024, Steven Dowell nearly died on his living room floor. By the time help arrived, his body was shutting down. Over the next few days, he flatlined twice. Doctors called it a close call. Steven calls it a miracle.

In From Death to Destiny, Steven shares the raw, unforgettable story of the season that almost ended his life—and the unexpected journey that followed. From the coma and hallucinations to the slow climb of recovery, he invites readers into the valleys of pain, fear, and surrender.

But this isn’t just a story about dying and coming back. It’s about what comes after. It’s about second chances. About rediscovering faith. About the quiet, undeniable truth that even in our darkest hours, God is not finished with us.

Told with honesty, vulnerability, and surprising humor, this first book in From Death to Destiny: A Testimony Series is both a gripping memoir and an inspiring reminder that brokenness is not the end of the story. Survival is only the beginning.

If you’ve ever wondered if hope can rise from ashes, or if God can still use your life after the unthinkable—this book is for you.
