Divine Order Kay T Payne

Divine Order is a story of love-the love of two sisters, their family, and God. When her sister needed a kidney donation, Kay received a revelation from God: she would give her own kidney to save her sister.

This was not a decision made lightly. Many in the African American community balk at the idea of organ donation-often due to cultural, ethnic, or religious concerns. From the moment Payne received the divine call, her family members began a process of spiritual transformation that left them closer to God and to one another.

Payne takes readers on a journey through the donation process: the decision to donate, the fear and unsettling moments in the hospital, and finally their strength and transformation. The experience was both frightening and spiritually uplifting, changing Payne's family forever.

Both a deeply personal story and a spiritual reflection, Divine Order places organ donation in the context of an African American family, but its true message is much broader: organ donation is a human event and one of the most selfless acts of love possible. Payne's stories and anecdotes reflect this important truth.
