Acerca de esta escucha
At age 29, best-selling author Heather Choate was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was 10 weeks pregnant with her sixth child. Her unborn baby became victim to the fast-spreading and highly dangerous cancer in Heather's body that already spread to her lymph nodes. Doctors told her she needed to abort her baby to save her life. Heather told them, "I'd rather die than take the life of my baby." She and her husband set out to find a way to save both her and her baby. The journey pushed them to the fringes of their stamina, tested the strength of their familial relationships, and found them clinging to their faith like it was the last bit of thread on a lifeline.
We all have unexpected adversity in life. It's those things that we think "will never happen to us". It could be the loss of job, the birth of a special needs child, the downturn of the economy, or an unexpected health challenge. Most of us would easily crumble under such circumstances, but Heather found that it's not about what happens to you, it's about what you do with it. You don't have to almost die to learn how to live, and Heather shows us how.
Despite adversity, nearly impossible challenges can be met, families can be strengthened, and faith can sustain even the most desperate souls on their journey. She brings her role as cancer-warrior into the real lives of listeners, addressing topics that affect them most: dealing with doubt and insecurity, discovering who they really are, renewing their passion, negotiating family strife, releasing relentless regrets, succeeding against temptation, weathering their worst fears, pressing on against fatigue and illness, uprooting bitterness, and more.
Fighting for Our Lives takes listeners on a journey of self-examination, appreciation for the beauties of today, and leaves them with a takeaway that could actually change their lives.

Meg Apperson grew up having a relationship with Jesus, and she always trusted God. But it wasn't until her daughter Avery - a miracle in so many ways - was born with a litany of life-threatening birth defects that she began to fully understand what it means to trust Jesus with everything. In this heartbreakingly beautiful memoir, you'll learn how a mother fought for her child, her family, and even herself as she grappled with the weight of failure - of letting down everyone around her and feeling let down by God.

In early 2011, Yolanda Hadid was struck by mysterious symptoms including brain fog, severe exhaustion, migraines, and more. Over the months and years that followed, she went from being an outspoken, multitasking, hands-on mother of three, reality TV star, and social butterfly to a woman who spent most of her time in bed. Yolanda was turned inside out by some of the country's top hospitals and doctors, but due to the lack of definitive diagnostic testing, she landed in a dark maze of conflicting medical opinions.

The Thinking Moms’ Revolution (TMR) is a group of 23 moms (and one awesome dad) from Montana to Malaysia who all have children with developmental disabilities. Initially collaborating online about therapies, biomedical intervention, alternative medicine, special diets, and doctors on the cutting edge of treatment approaches to an array of chronic and developmental disabilities, such as autism, sensory processing disorders, food allergies, ADHD, asthma, and seizures, they've come together into something far more substantial.

A beautiful story
I am part of the same church ward as Heather. I didn’t know the details of her experience. I have more admiration for her! Since I heard her speak at church (on marriage) I was so impressed with her knowledge and delivery. She has a true talent for communication with others. The book is amazing raw and real. I could stop listening. She is a true warrior because most warriors have real fears and doubt but through it all, her faith in Heavenly Father is a story that must be shared to help others. The reader made the book a wonderful listening experience.
