Readers Comment on These Words Changed Everything
"It is very hard to put down. I find myself reading at my lunch breaks and any free minute I get."--Steve L.
"I read the first paragraph in the book and stopped and tears came to my eyes. You write so I can see the picture of what the words say."--Laverne K.
"I've been sitting and reading your book - work and chores going by the wayside becaue I can't put it down. I finally had to pause to help Dick with our kitchen (new counters going in tomorrow) and just had to let you know how riveting the story is." - Linda B.
Lessons from the [Open] Heart™
On July 8, 2009, cardio-thoracic surgeon Dr. Lyle Joyce performed open heart surgery on Dave at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN.
Before that surgery, Dave heard powerful words like "calcified aortic valve" and "heart failure" that threatened to put his life on hold.
While preparing for surgery and in recovery, Dave heard other more powerful words which gave him hope and the ability to laugh amid the crisis.
Dave shares these words of hope in a special presentation designed for general audiences. All of us will eventually face a life crisis, whether medical, financial, legal, or personal. All can benefit from Dave's inspirational talk: Lessons from the [Open] Heart. Visit our Speaking Engagements page to learn more.
