Author Muriel Maxis Pens Book About Her Faith – and Overcoming Complex Partial Seizures

How serious is it to suffer from debilitating seizures? How does it feel to be robbed of independence in early adulthood due to a medical dilemma? How does it affect faith – or strengthen it? Muriel Maxis bares all in her memoir “How I Overcame Complex Partial Seizures: A Divine Experience” (2019).

In “How I Overcame Complex Partial Seizures,” Maxis, a survivor of several brain surgeries, describes the despair and mental anguish she endured while dealing with her neurological ailment. “I could not see myself conquering this illness,” she said. “The seizures held me hostage for years. In my early adulthood, the seizures robbed me of my independence. My bills went unpaid due to being unemployed. Plus, my driver’s license got suspended. I was totally stressed out.”

However, “How I Overcame Complex Partial Seizures” is not just a book narrating her physical and mental ordeal but a witnessing to the love and peace of God, who helped her through her pain. Indeed, the somber season of her life led her to experience His wisdom and glory, His help and love.

“Instinctively, I was led to keep a journal about my mental anguish and battle with the seizures. My journal had records of the intimate discourses I would have with God about my ordeal. The question ‘Why me and why now?’ bombarded my mind. Soon, I learned to ask ‘Why not me?’. I became totally awestruck by God’s omnipotence and omniscience. He knew this chapter of my life from the beginning of it.

“With great joy, I have chosen to testify of the unimaginable and everlasting goodness of God.”

“How I Overcame Complex Partial Seizures” also contains a selection of Maxis’ poems and artworks that readers, most especially Christian believers will appreciate, for they express the profound faith of the author who, despite the disturbing seizures, offered her pain to God.

“The purpose of my book is to encourage people. I share my story as evidence that we can overcome the difficulties of life, when we least expect it.”
