It is a definite light for dark times.”—Western New York Catholic“What we make of the adversities with which life inevitably confronts us determines whether we have anything useful to say to those who follow us.

I found myself highlighting many excellent points throughout its pages.”—Dan Millman, author ofWay of the Peaceful Warrior“Reading this book is truly a gift to oneself—a profound and riveting experience that kept me up into the late hours following a journey both immensely provocative and transformative. Andrew Bienkowski gives fully of himself in this book with a power that brings forth a spirit of healing so important at this time in our world. I'm already recommending this to everyone I know.”—Stephan Rechtschaffen, MD, co-founder, Omega Institute and Blue Spirit Costa Rica“One Life to Giveis a compelling and heartwarming saga that will inspire, uplift, and move you to appreciate your loved ones and consider what you can contribute rather than get.
