Look Beyond Tomorrow: The Carola Spencer Story is the inspirational true story of my friend Carola Spencer.

An armed and angry man entered Carola’s business looking for his girlfriend. When he found her, he shot and killed her and a co-worker, then shot Carola in the head. Although they were all severely impacted by this tragedy, Carola and her employees inspired everyone who knew them with their remarkable courage, hope, faith, and love.

When Carola’s friends learned she didn’t have medical insurance, we decided to do something to help her. I wrote and published the book both to inspire others who face difficult situations and to raise money for Carola’s medical expenses. Friends of Carola distributed books through their businesses and organizations to which they belonged. Carola has substantially recovered and her medical expenses have been covered. All proceeds from the book are now being donated to a literacy organization.

All proceeds from the books are donated to Literacy Initiatives and Family Endeavors (LIFE), a literacy organization in San Antonio. Carola and I both support the work of this fine grass-roots organization dedicated to improving literacy in an area with one of the lowest literacy rates in the nation.

The book is available at a cost of $18.00, which includes shipping. You may order online through PayPal by clicking on the “Buy Now” button. To order by mail, send a check or money order payable to LIFE to Lillie Ammann, PO Box 461603, San Antonio, TX 78246. Be sure to include your name and mailing address. Please allow 4 weeks for delivery.

“Carola’s story will make every reader pause to think of the precious gift God gave each of us.  It will inspire us all to not take life for granted.”
