Joe McGivney
“God Healed Me”
A lifelong alcoholic, Joe McGivney drank himself into brain damage, leading to an incurable psychotic condition. He was committed to a locked psychiatric ward, and his family was told he would need care 24/7 the rest of his life. Then one morning he woke up completely well. This miracle led to Joe’s recovery from alcoholism and return to his Catholic faith. He wrote You’re a Miracle! My Story of Alcoholism, Miraculous Healing, and God’s Infinite Power and Love, and accompanied by his wife Nicole, he has been sharing his story with audiences across the country.
