In 1953, in Jonesboro, Arkansas, a baby boy was born - dead. The attending physician set his little body aside and tended to his mother for 18 minutes. Now, more than 60 years later, that boy leads an internationally known ministry that encourages hundreds of thousands every year. The Boy Born Dead tells his incredible story from the perspective of his best friend, David Wideman.
As a teenager in the small town of Liberty, Missouri, in the late 1960s, David Ring grew up with the challenges that come with cerebral palsy, a result of his 18 minutes of newborn silence. Along with his physical limitations, Ring was orphaned and shuffled from home to home, finally landing in an abusive situation that made him feel unworthy of love and, eventually, unworthy of life. But God had a purpose for Ring's life and sent an agent to help him achieve it. Through the friendship of David Wideman, a boy he met in the halls of Liberty High School, Ring found strength he didn't know he had and went on to face his demons, marry the love of his life, and start an international speaking ministry.
Full of hope, this moving story illustrates how friendship and love triumph over adversity. Anyone who faces tough times will treasure this story of hope and courage.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Your question about if I would recommend this audiobook to a friend came too late, because I started recommending the book when I was half way through it. I am a social worker who works with adults with cerebral palsy. Many of them should hear David Ring's story. It is quite powerful.What was one of the most memorable moments of The Boy Born Dead?
The two most memorable moments in The Boy Born Dead were when he tried and failed to give a speech as a vice presidential candidate in high school and when he got on that stage again to tell his own story. Tears formed in my eyes.Which character – as performed by Paul Michael – was your favorite?
David Ring as performed by Paul Michael was my favorite character. It is not enough that Michael accurately portrayed Ring's speech impediment. He accurately portrayed Ring's heart and passion. Ring's character and compassion come through.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, I wanted to listen to this book all in one setting, but I finished it in two days.Any additional comments?
The Boy Born Dead is an exceptional book. I cannot tell enough people about this remarkable man.Tearjerker and Triumph
