A sudden and shocking nudge to adopt a seven-year-old boy from Russia changed everything in Debbie Michael's life in 2002. She instinctively knew it was God's voice speaking to her. She also knew she could not obey and disrupt her comfortable life with her family of five.

In But the Greatest of These is Love (2012) Debbie documents the journey of her reluctant surrender to God's crazy idea that turned out to be a perfect plan. In Spell Roma Backwards, she runs alongside strong-willed Roma, sharing the rest of the story with its joyful highs, overwhelming challenges, unimaginable grief, miracles, and finally peace and an unshakeable faith in an extravagant God.
