Squeeze My Hand Janet Smith

Squeeze My Hand is an inspirational story, which through a tragic event changes the lives of many people from different walks of life. Andy Youngblood, the son of a missionary, has just moved from Paraguay to Port St Lucie Florida. Ten year-old Andy and his father have a loving relationship and Andy can always go to his father for spiritual advice. Andy befriends two young boys across the street, Pedro and Manuel Martinez. Their father's are quite different. Andy's father loves God and the Martinez father questions the existence of God. Pedro introduces Andy to the game of baseball. This results into a challenge for Andy. An accident results in Pedro fighting for his life. Andy reaches out to help Pedro through God's intervention. With his friend on the edge, so close to death, Andy's faith and trust in God is tested. The members of the team are faced with the fact that Pedro may not live and definitely will not play in the most important game of the season Andy lacks the skills of a star player. Mr. Martinez and the physician caring for Pedro are searching for peace and understanding. Mr. Youngblood is their source of information and guidance. This is a story of victory. Not just victory on the field but victory in finding a loving relationship with God.
