New Life -- Lessons in Faith and Courage from Transplant Recipients
Turning a difficult situation into a positive experience takes courage, faith, perseverance and strength. How we deal with adversity defines who we truly are as human beings. In New Life: Lessons in Faith and Courage from Transplant Recipients, we meet people who have overcome obstacles and inspired others around them along the way. Organ transplant recipients face not only serious illnesses, but sometimes life-threatening situations. Yet those same recipients have turned their frightening experiences into unique and inspiring examples of courage and achievement. New Life is a collection of heartwarming and compelling stories that will encourage not only transplant candidates, recipients and their families, but people facing any kind of adversity. These stories help us remember that we can overcome the most difficult of circumstances in order to lead active, generous, and often remarkable lives. To order your own copy of New Life, call toll-free: 877-823-9235. The cost is $13.95 for paperback, or $23.95 for hard cover.
