“AUGUST 11, 2020, BEGAN NORMALLY. BUT BY DAY’S END, MY BODY WAS ON FIRE AND MY LIFE FOREVER CHANGED.”

What should have been an ordinary afternoon meal turned into a life-altering disaster. Pierre Kuma walked into his kitchen—and straight into a wall of flames. A gas leak had triggered a sudden explosion, leaving him with second-degree burns over nearly half his body and a severe inhalation injury.

The explosion should have killed him—but God had other plans.

“The Stench of Good News” is a raw, deeply personal, and powerful testimony of survival, faith, and healing. Over 142 days in the hospital—including four surgeries, twelve blood transfusions, countless setbacks, and a long, painful recovery—Pierre experienced a miracle that cannot be explained by medicine alone. He lives today, fully recovered, leading a “normal life” as if the accident never happened.

With moving eyewitness accounts and honest reflections, this memoir explores the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual impact of trauma—and the astonishing grace that carried him through.

This is not just a story about burns and bandages. It’s about divine mercy. About the valleys we walk through. About hope when nothing makes sense.
If you’ve ever felt like giving up—or wondered whether God still sees you—this book is for you.
There is no pit so deep that His hand cannot reach in and lift you out.
