This review is from: The Third Opinion (Paperback)

I was devastated when my father told me that he had been diagnosed with Lymphoma. Upon hearing of the diagnosis, well meaning friends often asked how old my father was. Though likely intended to comfort, the query always had the opposite effect. I became inconsolable. That is, until I talked to my dear friend Steve Mikita. He spoke the first truly comforting words I would hear since the diagnosis. He said simply, "Mare, as much as you love your father, Heavenly Father loves him more." As Steve continued to speak, and I continued to weep, peace and comfort flooded my heart. I knew he was right. Whatever the held for my father, for me, it was going to be alright. I have often thought that the world would be a better place if everyone could be so fortunate as to have a friend like Steve Mikita. For those of you who don't know Steve, or who have never had the opportunity to hear him speak, reading his autobiography is surely the next best thing. Here, Steve shares the experiences of his remarkable life which uniquely enable him to empathize with, and to offer true comfort, hope and inspiration to the rest of us. With the support of an incredible family, and a particularly tenacious mother, Steve has endured and continues to endure trials most of us will only ever have to imagine. Though his muscles are weak and continue to atrophy, Steve is truly one of the most powerful men I know. Read his book. It will open your eyes to the as yet unrealized possibilities in your own life.
