THE BEST BOOK OF 2003!

By Thriftbooks.com User, May 11, 2003

If you want to be moved, inspired, enlightened, and truly amazed by the human spirit, then read Dr. Epstein's book! This is a book that truly personifies what it means to be human, and Epstein should receive the Nobel Prize for this amazing account of the lessons he learned from treating children with life-threatening conditions. Epstein is also a prime example of what I call AUTHENTIC LEADERSHIP and so now I have a new...

Dr. Fred saved my daughter and my life

By Thriftbooks.com User, April 5, 2003

He reminds us of the importance of faith...

By Thriftbooks.com User, March 17, 2003

This nonfiction is more of a vigorous lesson that when it seems all but over in the bottom of the ninth, still swing the bat of life. Dr. Fred provides anecdotals from his mentoring tutors, the many children whose lives touched his.The book also bolsters those with disabilities...

Don't live another day without reading this book

By Thriftbooks.com User, March 16, 2003

Dr. Epstein cuts to the core of a small but intense world, one that is experienced by few but should be seen by all. The sudden and tragic turns that patients and families undergo bring out and magnify what we all cherish in children. These stories and dialog represent the values of one of the world's truly great men, allowing us to appreciate his thoughts and emotions like few would allow, and teach us how to live life and...
