Since my wife passed away in September last year, I have had a number of ADCs, some of them quite dramatic and to my mind some are so statistically improbable as to be impossible. I have experienced also the power of prayer, this too was dramatic, extremely specific and verifiable.

I have set out below one of my most dramatic ADCs and the easiest to relay to others.

There are two parts to this communication that I received from my late wife - with hindsight the first part was alerting me to what was to follow.

A few weeks ago, on 12 November, I was returning home from a friend's. It was around nine in the evening. I made a small detour and entered a supermarket, part of a nationwide chain. A group of four young men entered just behind me. A few moments after I started browsing the shelves, one of the young men said to his friends, very clearly, "Remember the 24th of March, it's important". This sent shivers up and down my spine, the 24th of March was my wife's birthday.

As soon as I arrived home I texted my friend and told her what happened, so this encounter is independently verifiable.

Around that time, I started reading a book by best selling author, Peter James. I thought the title "Absolute Proof" meant that it was a cop thriller, as this is his usual genre. When I read the synopsis, I discovered that it was about an investigative journalist who had been approached by someone offering absolute proof of God's existence. As the story progresses the journalist finds evidence backing up the claim. Eventually, towards the end of the book, the journalist meets someone who has the same DNA as Jesus. This person has certain paranormal abilities (or more) and he predicts that very soon God will provide proof of His existence through a miraculous event and this will be experienced by every living creature on the planet.

The chapters of the book are numbered and the chapter header is the date (e.g. Tuesday, 21st March). At this near end stage of the book, it dawned on me that not only are the chapters dated, the date is getting very close to 24th March. With a sense of wonder, awe and excitement, I started muttering, "No way", "surely not", "it can't be, can it?" and so forth. I began excitedly to paw through the last few pages to find the passage I was hoping to find.

I found the passage, with the author describing a miraculous event that affected the entire planet. (On a bright, sunny spring day morning in England, the sky turns completely black, no sun, no moon, no stars. A huge rainbow appears in the total dark, stretching from horizon to horizon. The colors are inverted, with violet at the top and red at the bottom. This is experienced everywhere, simultaneously and even the blind "see" it.)

With a sense of wonder I turned back one page to the start of the chapter. The chapter heading was, "Friday, 24th March", my late wife's birthday and the date the young man said a week or two previously should be remembered. As you might imagine, reading this while knowing it takes place on my wife's birthday and having been "told" to remember (be aware of) the date was a profound and emotional experience.

As it is a best seller, it can be easily verified that the date of the miracle mentioned in the book was my late wife's birthday.

As alluded to above, I have had other ADCs almost as dramatic as this. Plus several that when taken together are in my opinion statistically less probable than entering an elevator with two strangers and finding we all share the same DNA.
