Book Cover & Preview Text
"As I started to College Station, the weather became very intense with threats of severe thunderstorms and even tornadoes. That was the only afternoon I could take off and the people were expecting me to come, so I felt I had to make the trip. As I was driving, I kept thinking, "Dear God, if I'm not supposed to do this, let me know!" while coming through Navasota, I heard a weather report that there had been a tornado reported in the area. I kept driving towards College Station. As I turned off on Rock Prairie Road, the sky was intensley black and I actually felt concern for my safety. I picked up my mobile phone to call the group of people waiting for me at the hospital to tell them I was heading home and not coming. At that very moment, I was crossing the bridge on ROck Prairie Road when the sun dropped out of the clouds and the entire sky turned an incredibly red color. I said to myself, "Alright God, I'll go meet these people. That most incredible sunset changed my mind, and that decision changed my life...forever."

About the Book
This book is the life story of a learning-disabled boy who became a physician. Later in life, he felt led by God to create a concept called the Troas concept. It is a story of faith and trust in God that resulted in a very successful career. This autobiography shows how life events gradually resulted in the development of a new concept in medicine, an alternative type of medical practice. He believes that this concept will save the profession he loves and that it will eventually lead to the restoration of the patient-physician-God relationship that is lacking in the practice of medicine today. The book is really about a love story concerning his relationship to God and the women who helped direct the course of his life.
