Listening With Your Heart

About the Book

One of the most rewarding jobs I ever accomplished was working with cancer patients at a radiation center in Austin, Texas. Several of my doctor and minister friends asked me to write these stories so others might learn the lesson of living our lives to the fullest, even in the face of death. I enjoyed this job, because I felt completely called by God to serve his people in this manner. This job was one of the richest blessings of my life.
