Description: Bob Ball had a successful career in Christian radio. His career ran into an unexpected roadblock when Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS) invaded his active life. Bob struggled to maintain everyday normalcy while confronting his deterioration and the inability of medical personnel to diagnose his condition. Bob's wife, Barbara, weaves the encroachment of ALS with snapshots of their lives and has an engaging way with words to draw readers into the journey they never expected to take. As you walk beside them, you too will experience the peace and comfort of god's sustaining presence each step of the way.
