I've Got To Change has the Nihil Obstat and Imprimatur, which are official Church declarations that the publication is free from any moral or theological errors. This provides readers with a great sense of comfort and confidence that what they are reading is in line with the true teachings of Jesus Christ.

Because of the style and content of I've Got To Change, it is a tremendous resource for parents in helping them reach their teenagers and young adult children with Gospel values! I've Got To Change is masterfully designed so that an adult can buy a copy for their child and simply leave it on their bed without saying anything.  The youth or young adult comes home, picks up the book out of curiosity, and then begins reading it.  The content is so riveting and intriguing that the reader becomes intrigued and engulfed with the story.  After they are locked in, the author, Sean McVeigh, begins to present relatable and inspiring examples of making good moral and theological decisions in light of the turbulent pressures of the world.  This significantly motivates the reader to choose for themselves to follow the right path.  It won't be because someone told them they have to follow these teachings and ideals, it will be because they see the value in making good choices for themselves.

NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE?

It was silent in my hospital room except for the beeping noise coming from the heart rate monitor. Since there was nothing else to do, I laid there listening to the slow beep noise. Beep, beep, beep. After a while the beeping noise was suddenly replaced by an unbroken eerie sound “Beeeeeeeeeeee.” My eyes opened wide with panic as I listened to the monitor “flat line,” which indicated that I no longer had a heartbeat. I waited for death to follow. I expected to see big lights from heaven break through the ceiling of the room as the moment of my death arrived. I waited, and waited, and waited, but death never came. In an attempt to understand the situation, I began to look around the room. Eventually I looked down at my hand and discovered that the heart rate monitoring device had slipped off my finger. The tension in my shoulders dropped in a sigh of relief when I made this discovery. If I wasn’t going to die from the accident, I thought I might die from a heart attack caused by the heart rate monitor scaring me to death. This happened two more times. Each time, I went through the same cycle of thinking I was about to die before realizing that the monitoring device had slipped off my finger...

IF I WOULD HAVE DIED

Just two weeks after the accident, I was back at home. I had difficulty breathing and tired out very easily because of my punctured lung. This, along with my other injuries, left me fairly inactive throughout the summer. My condition forced me to do a lot of sitting, which in turn caused me to do a lot of thinking. The most prominent question I asked myself was, “If I would have died, would I have gone to heaven?” I forced myself to be perfectly honest. The true answer was very obvious to me. The answer was “No!” I knew I was not fit for heaven because of certain choices I had made in my life. Death always seemed far off in the distance before the car accident. I figured I could get away with doing things I knew were wrong because I planned to straighten out later on in life. I thought I would get to do all the things I ever wanted to do without any problems. I thought I would grow up, go off to college, get married, have a family, have a good job, and live to be about eighty.

The reality is that any of us, including myself, could die today! It could be an hour from now. It could be in five minutes. We just never know when it will happen. Not acknowledging that we are going to die, and not facing the fact that it could be at any moment, does not help us prepare for it. After facing the reality of my own death, and how close it could be, I resolved to be the best person I could be at every moment of every day. I wanted to be ready for my death and judgment before God. I strongly believed that I needed to choose to follow God’s ways in order to go to heaven. No longer was I going to take chances by doing things I knew were wrong.

From these thoughts, I developed a plan to improve. My plan started with...
