The Cliff: I Once Was Lost: A Remarkable True Story of Faith, Family, Extraordinary Rescue, and God’s Faithfulness

She fell seventy feet. Injured. Alone. Diabetic. Without insulin.

A true story told as a novel. Every part of it really happened.

As darkness fell across a remote ravine in northwestern Illinois, an entire community refused to give up.

When Nancy Erickson disappeared, the odds were stacked against her. First responders, neighbors, church members, family, and friends joined the search. Even a high-tech Amish Mennonite rescue team used thermal imaging to reach terrain too dangerous to cross on foot.

And as hundreds, then thousands, of prayers rose across the country, something extraordinary happened.

But The Cliff is not ultimately a rescue story.

It is the story of John and Nancy Erickson's lifelong journey of learning to trust God through illness, hardship, uncertainty, and blessing. The faith that sustained them on one unforgettable night had been built over decades of walking with Christ.

Perfect for: readers of inspirational true stories, church book clubs and small groups, anyone facing illness or uncertainty, and everyone who has ever wondered whether prayer still matters.
