ABOUT THE BOOK
On July 7 th , 2021, Peter was re-born. This was the day he had surgery to remove an aggressive cancer in his prostate. Thank God the operation was a total success. Today he is 100% cancer free! This life-changing event opened his eyes for the very first time in his life. His outlook and perspective have been transformed. Everything he always wanted for his life was now possible. God gifted him with a new set of keys to drive forward into a new and exciting horizon. All of this would be possible with a caveat, he was instructed to share what he learned from this experience to inspire others to apply these insights and lessons for themselves.
After much consideration, he decided that the best way for him to share his story was to write this book. He took time to do a lot of soul searching and praying to define what the topic and content needed to be. His marching orders were to deliver a ruthlessly honest message to the readers about his challenge, awakening and how it changed his life.
