Publisher's summary

By all standards of success, James Templeton seemed to have it all. He was a highly successful businessman, had a beautiful wife and daughter, and, only in his early 30s, had his whole life in front of him. To avoid the same fate as his father and grandfather, who both died of heart attacks at a young age, James became an avid runner - a passion that he believed helped him stay fit and healthy.

Imagine his shock when, during a routine physical, his doctor noticed a mole on his body that turned out to be a melanoma - a dangerous form of skin cancer. The mole was removed immediately and James, who was diligent in his follow-up exams, appeared to be cancer-free - but only for a short while.

When the cancer reappeared and had spread, on the advice of his doctor, James followed the conventional medical protocol, which included surgery and chemotherapy. He was also involved in a clinical trial. When he learned that the treatments weren't working, James was obviously devastated. He had reached a new low point in his life, and as he lay in the hospital bed, he prayed fervently for help. As if by some miracle, help came to James in the form of three different visitors who would change the course of his life - and help direct him on a path back to health.

A Must Read for Everyone!

I can not stop listening to this book. It is educational, motivational and an eyeopener. James Templeton's story give individuals with or without cancer HOPE! This is the best book I've heard in years. His interviews on Youtube or also outstanding.

An Extraordinary Story by the Nicest Guy

I wasn't loving this book to start with but i quickly came to find Mr. Templeton to be such a likable guy and "read" his story with great enjoyment. i found myself chuckling every now and then. (He speaks ill of no one).

Obviously we know his cancer journey is going to work out or there would not be a story. This is a great book for all who want to read about beating the odds and walking away from cancer when the odds are stacked against you. Bravo Mr. Templeton!
