Book Description
Turning a difficult situation into a positive experience takes courage, faith, perseverance, and strength. How we deal with adversity defines who we truly are as human beings. In New Life: Lessons in Faith and Courage, we meet people who have overcome obstacles and inspired others around them along the way. Organ transplant recipients face not only serious illnesses, but sometimes life-threatening situations. Yet those same recipients have turned their frightening experiences into unique and inspiring examples of courage and achievement. New Life is a collection of heartwarming and compelling stories that will encourage not only transplant candidates, recipients, and their families, but people who are facing any kind of adversity. Through uplifting accounts of human achievement, readers are left with a deep sense of admiration for the accomplishments and triumphs of the individuals profiled. These stories show us how to overcome the most difficult of circumstances and go on to lead active, generous, and in many cases, remarkable lives.


CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 5.0 based on 3 reviews)

Excellent and Uplifting  
This book is mandatory for any families facing possible transplantation. It's so uplifting and inspiring.
For those of us fortunate to not be facing these issues, these stories are just wonderful. It's amazing what is possible today that in our childhood was not.
The best feature of the book is how Violino captures the individual voice and tone of each person and each family's story.
Hospitals and doctors' offices should all have a copy on hand.

Great read!  
New Life is a heartwarming book about the life challenges of several transplant recipients. I especially enjoyed reading and visualizing the many trials and triumphs endured by these courageous individuals. The book is a powerful collection of uplifting and insightful lessons that make you trust in faith, appreciate your own "life" and feel happy to know that others have been granted a "New Life". A great book you're sure to enjoy!

An Impressive Book  
Beautifully written by a transplant recipient who details the experiences of other transplant recipients, "New Life" describes the triumphs of body and spirit of everyday people who faced and conquered some of life's most difficult challenges. The lessons described in "New Life" apply to each of us who may be confronted with any sort of crisis and illustrate the role that positive attitudes play in bringing about successful outcomes to the most difficult problems. "New Life" is an easy to read book that is packed with the most profound examples of human courage. A great read!
