"I was raised in a mainstream church and didn't have a personal relationship with the Lord," says Robert Bakke, author of "Prayer at Full Throttle."

He also suffered from an inferiority complex. "I was the scrawniest kid in my school and the last one picked for gym class," he recalls. "I didn't have a lot of self-confidence."

Bakke felt somewhat lost as he entered college, and was put off by people who tried to tell him what he should or should not believe. He had never read the Bible for himself, but one day, he started to read the New Testament and the power of God's Word bowled him over.

"I couldn't understand why they didn't teach this stuff in church," says Bakke. The Word and the Spirit transformed his heart and revolutionized his thinking as he was born again.

"It was the most encouraging and powerful information I had ever laid my eyes on. It completely changed what I thought about God, myself, and my capabilities. When I had finished reading it, I truly believed that with God's help I could accomplish anything."

Bakke had a successful business career after college, then he began to pursue more exciting dreams God planted in his heart. He became a jet captain and aerobatic flight instructor and a black belt in karate.

On a Sunday in September, 2012, Bakke found himself out-of-town, driving a rental car on his way to get dinner.

He glanced at his watch and noticed it was about 7:00, the exact time his racing friend, Rylee Michaelson, was about to start a race.

He decided he would lift up a certain prayer for Rylee that he often uses before his own races. "Help her to run fast and clean and keep her safe…"

He got halfway through the prayer but couldn't continue. A wave of unaccustomed emotion hit him and he began to weep, with large drops running down his cheeks.

Then he cried out: "God, release your angels to go to Rylee at the speed of lightning!"

Bakke had never prayed or even thought of uttering such a phrase. Where did that come from? he wondered. Why am I so emotional?

He started to pray his customary pre-race prayer once more for Rylee, but again became so overwhelmed by his feelings he had to stop.

Bakke went into the restaurant shaking his head, wondering what it all meant. After dinner, he got into his rental car, and was driving to his hotel when he got an urgent phone call. "Rylee had a bad crash and the car flipped…" the caller began.

Bakke almost drove into a ditch when he got the shocking news.

Bakke watched a video replay afterward of the crash and was amazed by what he saw. "As it was sliding all the other cars disappeared. In my heart I know it was angels pushing the other cars out of the way."

"All things are possible with God," Bakke marvels. "Never let anybody talk you out of your dreams."
