Boy Born Dead

A Story of Friendship, Courage, and Triumph

De: David Ring, David Wideman, John Driver, Mike Huckabee

Narrado por: Paul Michael

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.

David’s purpose

I loved this story. The telling of the changes in these boys lives and the part they played in each other’s story is moving. The way God uses us in other people’s lives shows a need for significant friends who walk along beside us and then they change us as well. A beautiful story.

Wonderful book

This book is one of the most heartfelt and touching book I've ever read and have to thank you for offering it. No one could listen to this and not be inspired! I plan on researching this man to see where he may be speaking. The reader was perfect too .

A Story of Hope

I first discovered David Ring while listening to a Christian radio station on my way to work. I was so intrigued by him I purchased this book on audible and bought copies for everyone on my Christmas list. Although I have always had faith and my own struggles have brought me closer to God, his story has impacted me on a deep level. It is simple, eloquent, and the truth. “God does not throw away broken things, he use them.” So glad I came across this book and so excited to share it with others.

amazing

this story will break your heart and then give you a passion to thrive in life.

Very well read

Such a sad but beautiful story of perseverance through abuse and Gods faithfulness.

Although I almost shut it off in the beginning because it sounded too boring for me, I’m glad I kept going till the end
