BATTLING THE BEAST WITHIN
Imagine this. At age 26 you are on the fast track of your chosen career: head of the department, on the board of your professional association, and penciled in as a likely candidate to become its national president within five years. You are the proud father of two sons and are rapidly becoming a leader in your community. For exercise, you bicycle 150 miles a week.
Suddenly you begin to notice weakness and tingling in your legs and a dramatic loss of peripheral vision. At first, the doctors are mystified but eventually tell you that you have multiple sclerosis and your prognosis is unknown. Within three years, you are unable to walk, experience tremendous fatigue, and are told that you are unable to work. This is one of those times when you either accept defeat or challenge your tormentor.
Readers are certain to come away from this book with new, positive perspectives on life. They will begin to see opportunities in every challenge and look for the good that can come from every experience.
