New York Times Best-seller

Her story. His story. The love story of Joey and Rory.

By inviting so many into the final months of Joey’s life as she battled cancer, Joey and Rory Feek captured hearts around the world with how they handled the diagnosis; the inspiring, simple way they chose to live; and how they loved each other every step of the way. But there is far more to the story.

“My life is very ordinary,” says Rory. “On the surface, it is not very special. If you looked at it, day to day, it wouldn’t seem like much. But when you look at it in a bigger context—as part of a larger story—you start to see the magic that is on the pages of the book that is my life. And the more you look, the more you see. Or, at least, I do.”

In this vulnerable book, he takes us for the first time into his own challenging life story and what it was like growing up in rural America with little money and even less family stability.

This is the story of a man searching for meaning and security in a world that offered neither. And it’s the story of a man who finally gives it all to a power higher than himself and soon meets a young woman who will change his heart forever.

In This Life I Live, Rory Feek helps us not only to connect more fully to his and Joey’s story but also to our own journeys. He shows what can happen when we are fully open in life’s key moments, whether when meeting our life companion or tackling an unexpected tragedy. He also gives never-before-revealed details on their life together and what he calls “the long goodbye,” the blessing of being able to know that life is going to end and taking advantage of it. Rory shows how we are all actually there already and how we can learn to live that way every day.

A gifted man from nowhere and everywhere in search of something to believe in. A young woman from the Midwest with an angelic voice and deep roots that just needed a place to be planted. This is their story. Two hearts that found each other and touched millions of other hearts along the way.

Wonderful narrative by the author. Rory’s story made me laugh, reflect and cry as he takes us from his childhood, through his crisis in life to finding and losing the love of his life.
This book is amazing as was and is the love story of Rory and Joey Reek.

Such a sad sad story. But beautiful in its own right. Definitely a book I will remember and recommend.

Heart felt, heart breaking; a beautiful love story

I followed the blog about a lot of this but this book adds to what was going on during that time and gives a background that wasn't in the blog. I love reading Rory's writings; he just has a unique way of looking at and conveying things. Thank you for your candor, your insights and for sharing your story with the world, Rory. God bless you and your wonderful family.
