A cardiorespiratory arrest. Sixteen minutes with no heartbeat. Forty-eight hours in a coma.

This is the moving account of Adilson Silva, who literally faced death—and came back to tell the story. More than a testimony of a miracle and overcoming adversity, 16 Minutes: Lessons from My Near-Death Experience is a profound reflection on faith, purpose, prayer, family, and eternity.

In his sincere and inspiring narrative, Adilson shares not only the details of what he endured physically, but, above all, what he learned in his soul. A book that will awaken your faith, strengthen your spirit, and remind you that life—and time—belong to God.
