Exceptional Book

Dave Lawrence is an amazing man. I am blessed to call him a friend. I highly recommend this book to everyone.

inspiring words

David's life story is inspiring on several counts. First, it will push you to dedicate more time to reading real journalism, not just the garbage on the internet. Second, it will make you reexamine your own life and the standards by which you hold yourself accountable. Third, you may find yourself asking what more can you do for others rather than yourself. A remarkable man who has earned the title of the book.
