Tom's amazing story shows us all what can happen when we take matters into our own hands. It is great to have the help of medications and other scientific technologies, but even greater to see the power a person can have over his own destiny. The turnabout Tom experienced demonstrates how the human body can respond so well to proper care. It is refreshing to see Tom become healthier through his discipline and determination, and even better to see Tom enjoying his health (like sky diving!) and using his health to make a difference in the lives of those around him. Enjoy the read! --J.R. Hoffman, M.D. Tom Bishop is an inspiration. When so many would quit... Tom just kept going. When anyone of right mind would think, 'this is the end,' Tom believes 'this is just a new beginning.' Tom may be a little crazy... but if he is, I wish we were all that crazy! He inspires, he spreads joy, he serves the world. It is a pleasure to know Tom Bishop... I think after reading this book, you will say the same thing. --George J. Hopkins: CEO., Youth Education in the Arts Director, 10 Time World Champion Cadets Drum Corps My very good friend Tom Bishop is one of the most unique people I've ever met. With his high energy and tremendously high work ethic, Tom meets his personal challenges head-on. Considering his health issues, working a full-time schedule for his employer of over 25 years, plus being a hospital volunteer for over 1,000 hours annually, Tom's energy and purpose of direction are most impressive. We all can learn from Tom being in our presence. --Dale Harper, President, Carle Hospital Auxiliary
