I Cried Out To The God That I Didn't Believe In!

Once a determined atheist, Jane Andrews is now proclaiming Jesus to everyone she meets within her world of academia following a remarkable conversion.

As a senior lecturer in the field of engineer-ing and one of the UK’s leading experts on engineering education research, Jane Andrews is clearly a clever person.

And she used her vast intelligence to come to a confident conclusion: there is no God and people of faith are weak.

But six years ago, this bullish viewpoint was shattered when her mum became seriously ill and the opinionated atheist found herself pleading to God – someone she had never believed in!

“I’d read numerous critiques of religion, including Richard Dawkins, and felt he had a valid point,” she says. “God was a myth! I knew absolutely nothing about Jesus and didn’t want to.”

But when her mother became seriously ill, Jane reached desperation point: “She was within six hours of all her major organs closing down. I went home that night and sat on the swing in the garden. Confused, scared and feeling alone, I shouted out loud: ‘God, if you’re there and you’re real, do something. I can’t cope with this.’

“To my surprise, he answered me! I actually heard a voice say, ‘It’s going to be OK, Jane. Go to bed. Sleep. All will be fine.’ I felt calm and safe, so I went to bed. I rang the hospital at seven the next morning to be told Mum had turned the corner. She was discharged two weeks later and recovered fully.”

This posed a serious problem for Jane. She had cried out to a God she didn’t believe in and he had answered her!
