Story of the faith and courage of an "overcomer."

This is a book for anyone facing a life-threatening situation. Yes, the reader feels the author's pain, senses his suffering, and feels his fear; however, this simply makes the victorious outcome even more joyful. It is really the story of an entire family and how they handled a very difficult situation. It is about love and strength and the determination of a man to beats the odds and "get well." Although the author uses his mind and meditations,. . . as a Christian, I clearly understood that he considered these as gifts from the Creator and not in and of himself. Buy this book for yourself and also a copy for a friend. You don't have to have a life-threatening illness to draw from its inspiring passages. It is a book that I have read over and over . . . and it will be a permanent part of my library. No, it isn't about a sure cure for cancer but it is about a journey in life that leads to wholeness. I thank God for healing this man and using him as an example of courage and strength. I am sure the author's life must now reflect that of His healer.

My story is one of love, physical and spiritual strength.

The methods I utilized to live(9)years with leukemia and also to survive a bone marrow transplant when my predicted odds of survival were 15 -20%, included the use of my mind and meditation, a support network of love from my family and friends, physical exercise, and a strong spiritual strength.
