An Extraordinary Tale of Courage and the Will to Live

Ordinary Valor is a story of one ordinary man's extraordinary experiences that will touch, inspire and move you.

"This is not a textbook about prostate cancer or the psychology of coping, although there are thoughts and information about both. And it’s not a philosophical discourse on the philosophy of faith or the existence of God, although I talk a lot about my experience of the power of faith. Instead, this is an invitation to walk through one man’s journey of coping with the dark night. There have been neither guts nor glory—just everyday triumphs over life’s mysterious fragility."
