The book, When No One Else Believed by Ron Tripodo is an unparalleled Christian book that tells the story of Ron's absolute faith in God. Ron's story starts from his childhood, where he struggled with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and faced difficulties in completing even the most basic tasks. Despite that, Ron's faith in God never lurched, and he always believed in God's promise to heal his wife, even when the doctors and medical experts gave her a very slim chance of survival.

Ron is an exemplary Christian and husband, and as a reader, I was captivated by his genuine and pure love for his wife. I mean, it would have been so easy for Ron to walk away, but the fact that he stuck by her side was very inspiring and emotional. Honestly, I was lost for words.

Although it's a Christian book, I must commend the author for not trying to force his beliefs on us, the readers. He gave us breathing space and allowed us to flow with our narrative. This allowed me the opportunity to fully immerse myself in the book and have a good reading experience.

Unfortunately, there were no details about Patsy's life before her illness. For me, I would suggest the author births a form of sequel to this book. Maybe he avoided that because if Patsy’s life was told in detail, this book would have been voluminous and cumbersome. Regardless, I look forward to a sequel where Patsy's story is told from her end too, and I hope the author would give this some thought.

The book is very well-written and well-edited, with no grammatical errors, making it highly rated. Due to how satisfying this book was, reading was a jolly experience. It's a must-read for all Christians as well as people who are looking for faith. This book is a captivating read that offers valuable insights to readers of all ages.

Belief is something that is known to serve as a driving force, the one which will motivate individuals to pursue their goals and aspirations.

It is said that when a person believes in themself, their abilities, or a cause, it becomes easier to stay motivated and persevere through challenges or setbacks.

In the book, ‘When No One Else Believed: A Man's Love For a Woman’, we see how the faith of our main protagonist was incidental in having a profound impact that showcased a sense of meaning and purpose.

When Patsy is diagnosed with an illness that very well means a death sentence, life seems to be bleak for Ron, yet there is this spark inside him that makes him push beyond what was there and the miracle that ensued thereafter was simply a treat to read.

Their story is certainly going to be inspiring to others with their unwavering belief in miracles and the extraordinary power of love. Their love story is a symbol of hope, reminding everyone that miracles can happen when you believe with all your heart.

Overall, it can be said that this story has became a testament to the enduring power of belief, notifying the world that love can overcome any obstacle and that miracles are always possible when love is at the heart of it all.

It is evident that when faced with difficult circumstances, maintaining a positive belief system can prove to be extremely difficult, yet the story shows us how by trying our hardest can provide the strength and resilience needed to navigate through tough times. Hence, I am going to give this FIVE STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

If i have to sum up this book then i would say : impactful and inspiring memoir. After finishing this read i have to say, it definitely gave me a new perspective and has subtly permeated the way that I think.

Talking about the book, This is the true story of the enduring love of a husband for his wife. He is a flawed man with a life-long learning disability. She, the love of his life, is stricken with a catastrophic illness with no chance of recovery. He, alone... with God's grace... must navigate through a broken marriage, a wife on life support, extreme temptation, and financial ruin, with no one believing what God had revealed to him.

It's a life's journey filled with hope, despair, love, sacrifice, and endurance and will power that will shake your mind.It's not a comfortable read, it summons thoughtfulness, exhaustion, and devastation.
The writing is distinctly profound, raw, and painful yet healing and the author tackled painfully uncomfortable subjects gracefully. I love the book and I wholeheartedly recommended this book to everyone!


Overall the writing is pretty good, with tremendous insights from the first page till the end. I was engrossed the whole time.

When one speaks in a language of faith, it's frequency travels far beyond than one's perception or imagination. To somewhere far above.

'When No One Else Believed' by Ron Tripodo is a book about the clustered emotion of the author himself as he grips on life tighter and tighter with each passing day to hold on with every possible speck of energy in him.

What I genuinely loved about the book is that it is a true depiction of how a human feels and thinks. We all can relate to Ron, badly, in our own ways. With our own set of messed up situations and a big fat bucket of faith. But of course, Ron has had to deal with bigger and much life influential situations that carves his daily life and his unwavering faith. His forbearance towards the relenting mode of the lack of belief is appreciable.

Had a good time reading and reflecting.

When No One Else Believed by Ron Tripodo is one of the most amazing facets of Patsy’s story is Ron’s faith from the time Patsy was in a coma until she recovered. This story is an Amalgamation of faith and hope.

How one's hope can leads to a miracle in itself. Despite all the obstacles Ron never gives up on his wife or on his faith and hope in the God.

This story is an amazing memoir of how Ron’s faith is unwavering eventhough there is lots of hardships, disabilities, one after the another new obstacles.

Written in a very easy and understandable language, that makes the book amazing and great.

Characters are influenced by real life peoples so that makes the book outstanding and readable.I highly recommend this book for this amazing story of Patsy’s miracle 🌟

“Yeah, right!” I thought to myself. “He is using God to steal the company from me.”

Most of us crib for little things in our lives. But there are millions in the world who's life are a mess. Having said that, all of us have a strong power that we hold on to. It is God to some, and for others, it's something else.

This story is about Ron, with a lifelong learning disability. While he is going through a financial crunch, he even has dull days in his wedding. His wife Patsy has a serious condition that puts her on life support. Ron is devastated. His life becomes very hard as Patsy's condition worsens. However, Ron is determined. He believes that God will heal her and relies on the messages that he receives from Him. Ron loves Patsy unconditionally, and all he wants is his wife to become normal and healthy again.

All of us often talk about "gut feelings." Yes, they are real. Even the messages you get from God or whoever you believe in are real. This is my personal opinion. This story has proved it. Ron's constant faith, determination, dedication, and love towards Patsy is something incredible. Such an amazing book.

I loved this book so much! It’s so hard to believe what the Tripodos went through. I loved hearing Ron‘s faith, and that Patsy was healed. Ron told the story in such a captivating way. The narrator, Rick, was fantastic. He was able to tell Ron’s story in such a wonderful way.

I would listen to this again. It’s so hard to express in words what an impact the story has had on my life.

Good Story for Confirmation Basis

If you are a Christian looking for a book that will serve as confirmation bias for your beliefs, this novel will do just that. While I am glad to hear the authors wife is doing much better, no higher power had anything to do with it.

Even though I believe in a universal energy, it does not care about humanity. We are merely another species that will die off and then another will take our place.

Besides for the confirmation basis, there were also multiple grammar and spelling errors. It quite clearly did not go through a professional editor, and that definitely takes away from it.

The book portrays the story of Patsy Tripodo and is narrated by her husband Ronnie Tripodo.
This story, based on the real life of the author and his wife, holds nothing that I or any other speaker about the book could state to you as a spoiler. However, it's about belief, thoughts, and understanding the whole sentiment.
It starts with narrating to the readers, simple incidents from the lives of the authors and then moves to the major incident of the author's life which made him put his eternal faith in God.
This incident is about Patsy Tripodo. She anonymously acquires a virus one day which starts deteriorating her mental control acts. Soon when her family starts to notice this, they take her for a diagnosis and realize the disease is quite rare and has no standard procedure to be cured.
Lots of experts and caretakers of Patsy's tell Ron (the author) about the helplessness of his wife. Yet she got healed of her disease, after all the possible efforts Ron and other relatives of her could make.
The whole concept of this book lies here... How the author and his wife believed it to be God's miracle.
Readers also get to witness short incidents back from the lives of the author and his wife, when they were young, when they married, or when they used to fight each other to the extent that they were about to break their marriage.
The book ends with a moral and positive lesson that God does not grant the prayers of every other person who prays but only of those who have extreme faith in God. And he ends up saying it is God's way, of making people believe in Him.
My take on this story would be faith. Faith is what heals people, makes them move mountains or so it is said. In the case of Ronnie and Patsy, it was their faith in God, which lead them to experience this miracle.
One cannot expect much from this book from a reader's perspective but as a believer! Read this book if you're a believer. If you're an atheist, a non-believer, or a firm person in case of choices, this may not be the best choice for you.

Book : When No One Else Believed: A Man's Love For a Woman
Author : Ron Tripodo

We all are very much familiar to the popular line,"The first impression is the last impression"- the cover page. It gives me the true feelings of the line. The cover page is very much attractive and eye pleasing and the title gives you a hint about the summery of the book. Firstly I was curious because of the title, so i picked this out then I fell in love with this book just after reading the first few lines and it turned out to be such a great and wonderful read.

It was a beautiful story of faith and grace. It is an inspiration of what faith can do in one's life. This is a story of faith and endurance. There's no doubting Ron's love for his wife, Patsy. He has an illness that leaves him on life support, but against all odds, Ron believes in the message he received from God that He will heal him. Ron's personality is immediately understandable. He is frail, has a long-term disability, and is love-afflicted. The road is not easy for him. Patsy's chances of survival are slim. Ron's faith in Jesus and that she will be okay gives her confidence that everything will be okay.

I believe that what set this book apart was not just the religious side of the story, but the fact that one's faith, whatever it may be, can make you strong enough to stand up against all and Can face anything. Thanks for sharing this beautiful story. The human mind is amazing, and here you read how one is empowered by one's faith to the point where no one else understands what is happening. However, it's the ending that was the most satisfying.I recommend this book to believers and those who seek faith to show them the way. The language of the book is brilliant. Leave all specification just grab the book & give it a try.

I wouldn't lie; I really cried a few times while reading this book. It was so hard to see Ron so sorrowful and struggling. The thing that kept me going was that I knew that Patsy would be healed.

We all have a fear of losing our loved ones, but to fear losing someone because of an illness further increases the pain tenfold. I sympathise with Ron's character very much.

Faith is something that I believe can move mountains and convince God to answer your prayers. Many people don't understand the power of faith, but Ron did. The faith he had that Jesus would heal his wife was what really got to me. I would like to say that I have my share of ups and downs in life, just like everybody else, and like Ron, what keeps me going is my faith in God and the belief that he will listen and answer my prayer.

The most sweet part of the story was when Ron reminisced about the days when he and Patsy met and fell in love so quickly. Numerous anecdotes that demonstrate the strength of faith and trust can be found in the Patsy's Miracle story. They demonstrate how God is able to extend His grace to our marriages, our financial situation, our career, our flaws, and our extended families in order to complete His purpose for our life.

Nothing makes me happier than a happy ending, which we got in this book.

I would definitely recommend this book if you want to read a story that will touch your heart and strengthen your belief in the Almighty. Also, if you want to read the story of a man who loved his wife more than anything, this is the book you should pick up.

This book is so good!! Some part will make you laugh, some make you sad & somehow you'll find it relatable to your life. Some people adopt an “It'll all work out somehow” attitude toward marriage and finances. But sadly, it often doesn’t work out. Financial woes and marriage troubles can rob couples of precious opportunities to savor the blessings of companionship, family, and peace that God intends for His people. This book will help you discover God’s approach to growing your finances and strengthening your relationship with your mate. It highlights key issues like debt, conflict, spending, investing, saving, and budgeting. Regardless of the books, magazines, or television programs you’ve seen, nothing compared.
Overall I enjoyed it.The book was totally the package of entertainment plus the most relatable context and being a typical middle class Brown person who herself in her 20's enjoyed this reading to the fullest. Some events were totally emotional and some are totally sentimental surely surely recommend it to everyone. Just grab your copies now. You'll love it. This will light up your mood. Language was beginner friendly. Hence, easy-to-read. As the book was entertaining from a different angle. The judgements and so many other thing affect the M/F psychologically as well . The unwanted judgements or rejections may cause the really deep affection to anybody. If you wanna choose someone,choose wisely or just don't.

Read it for sure!!

- Life isn't fair to anyone. Be it rich or poor, everyone faces obstacles and challenges that life throws their way now and then. But when an obstacle seems impossible, it is easy to fall into darkness. However, faith, trust, and belief in god can sometimes help people in being hopeful. One such story is of Ron Tripodo and his wife Patsy.

- The story follows the events of the author's life that led him to strengthen his belief in god. An event changes his life forever and it sets a dominos effect further. It was emotionally moving to read his story. This memoir reinstills our faith and trust in the supreme energy or god. The author goes through tough times with his wife but doesn't give up.

- The story is full of raw emotions and moments. Patsy clearly plays a crucial role in the author's life. The epilogue is interesting as we get to have Patsy's point of view. For me the most potent lines were the last 4 lines: "If only we would ask, If only we would listen, If only we would trust and If only we would believe...". This is very true and is exactly how supreme energy works.

- Overall, this is a nice read. I couldn't relate well to the instances from Bible or Jesus, but it was still easy to follow through the story. While I don't believe in Jesus, I do believe in supreme energy, one that doesn't have a form and yet has as many as you can imagine! God is ultimately energy and exists in all of us as we all have an essence or part of it.
