How Could I Have Been So Wrong? eBook
This book is my story of how my cardiac event was resolved by combining the best in medical care, Christian spirituality, and nutrition.
I was NOT supposed to have a cardiac event. I ate a healthy diet, exercised several times a week, consumed lots of great nutrition and sought to live destressed by abiding in Christ. This story contains the lessons I learned in the months of healing after having emergency surgery which involved five heart bypasses.
It is now six months after the surgery and I am doing well. I have gone from seven down to two medications, and my goal is to be off all of them within a year. I am back to bike riding 2.5 miles a day and doing MaxT3 Interval training for 12 minutes four times a week with my wife Patti. I am writing, teaching weekend seminars, taking phone calls, answering emails, swimming with my grandkids and relaxing more than I have in the past. I am listening to my body and not pushing it beyond its comfortable limits. Relaxation involves an inner attitude of greater trust in God, and returning to a love of my heart, which is worshipping in the Spirit with my autoharp for 15 - 20 minutes or so each evening.
A summary of things learned: I believe it is time to be nicer to my body than I have been in the past. I have always considered it a cast-iron body and treated it as such. I need to relax more, destress more, have more fun, laugh more and celebrate more. I am being diligent to do these things, and not to barter with God when He discusses limits of time to invest in activities He has led me into. Accept His guidance. It is for my own good.
If you can learn from my lessons, and avoid any mistakes and the consequences of them, then this booklet will have served its purpose. Encouraging your friends to get a copy would most likely benefit them also.
The journaling which follows is from a student taking the course "Prayers That Heal the Heart" through Christian Leadership University.

Lord, I come now asking You to reveal any generational sins by which I am affected; any that have not already been taken to the cross and broken. What would You show me, Lord? What will You speak to Me?
Below is my list of simple, orderly steps that I take when I get sick. It has hyperlinks which explain each protocol in detail. I have used them all successfully. I passionately pursue wholeness for several reasons: 1) Jesus paid a huge price to purchase my health with the stripes He bore at Calvary (Isa. 53:5), and I will not squander the price He paid, 2) I have a God-given destiny which I am eager to complete and 3) I desire to celebrate vibrant health in my golden years, and enjoy my great-grandchildren. The three keys to establishing and maintaining health are: 1) Detoxify the body, 2) Build the immune system, and 3) Nourish the cells, which are discussed in depth in our book Go Natural, and are summarized in the listings below.

Rhema: Healing is bringing people into My presence, My ocean of love, to receive a touch/wave of My compassion. Entering into a Gospel story which comes alive by My Spirit is one way to allow people to touch My healing presence and My miracle working power.
Our goal: To lead people to Jesus to experience waves of divine compassion from God’s ocean of love and through this encounter experience their miracle of healing as His power penetrates their beings. We accomplish this by dependence upon the Holy Spirit, as we share stories of healing encounters with Jesus which become stepping stones for the listener to have their own healing encounter with Jesus.
Prayer: “Lord, take me back to the language of my heart, let me become a master storyteller, so people can ride on the wings of these stories into Your loving arms, and receive Your healing touch.”
