Sample Book Insights:

#1 Jason Greenstein, a forty-seven-year-old man with late-stage cancer, was on his way to a miracle. He was going to defy death by standing on its precipice.

#2 The attack on Jason’s left hand was particularly cruel. When Jason was a kid, he was a phenomenal athlete. He had the looks to match, with dark hair and dark eyes. But his laugh was his defining characteristic. It was pure delight.

#3 The immune system is a bodyguard that protects us from disease. It is constantly on guard, and it is largely invisible to us. It attacks each cold virus, millions of malignancies, and hundreds of millions of cases of food poisoning.

#4 The immune system is not a war machine, but a peacekeeping force that seeks to create harmony. It is not just concerned with protecting its own tissue, but also the foreign organisms that live on and in us.
