Dale Reppert, loving father, husband, and successful VP at a large investment firm, found his life detoured after undergoing brain surgery and contracting a deadly form of bacterial meningitis which spiraled into septic shock. While his body was relentlessly beaten back on Earth, God chose to lift him up and place him in Heaven's loving embrace for nearly two days. There, he was given a glimpse of something so beautiful it changed his life forever. A second brain surgery would be required to save Dale's life, but the trauma he sustained would cause ongoing disabilities; disabilities so severe that they would detour him from his life as an investment broker and onto a path he could not have foreseen. Detour to Heaven, One Man's True Journey is the true story, as told by Dale and his devoted wife Louann, of Dale's continuous battle to live and how, through unwavering optimism and God's constant presence, he has persevered and learned the true meaning of wealth. Dale decided to share his heavenly experience after his last medical diagnosis explained that he shouldn't be alive and would need a third brain surgery. He hopes this book will help others.
