Book Description
Shortlisted for the ABIA Award (Biography of the Year) 2015 A searingly honest memoir of family, cancer, love ... and unicycles by the founders of the Love your Sister charity, Connie and Samuel Johnson, that will inspire and they hope get people talking about boobs! Born a year apart, Connie and Samuel Johnson have always been close. Faced with the devastating news that they would soon be separated forever, they made a decision. After already surviving cancer twice in her young life, at 33 Connie was diagnosed with breast cancer. But this time it was a whole different ball game. This time she was told she will die, leaving behind her two sons. As a young mum faced with her own death, Connie wanted to make it all less meaningless, and she knew just the way to do it - send her brother, Sam, on a one-wheeled odyssey around Australia. The aims: to break the world record for the longest distance travelled on a unicycle. To raise $1 million for the Garvan Research Foundation. And, most importantly, to remind women to be breast aware and stop others having to say goodbye to those they love. Their message is simple: 'Don't fall into the booby trap.' Samuel has travelled through every state and ridden more than 150,000 kilometres to raise awareness and raise research dollars. But Connie had a secret fourth aim: to fix Samuel. And it worked. Sam cleared his diary, cleaned himself up and tenaciously kept his promise to his dying sister. For them the job isn't over. They are determined to raise more money for research. Connie vows to fight until her dying day and Sam says the fight will go on long after that. These two remarkable Australians share their tale, from childhood through to the finish line and beyond in this truly unique story. Part memoir, part travel diary, part conversation, Love your Sister is an inspiring and unforgettable story that shows just how far one man will go for his sister. The Johnsons' memoir is bracing and affecting. - Sunday Age, Sun Herald Part memoir, part diary, part conversation, this is an unforgettable story of how far a brother will go for his sister. - Brisbane News There are many joyous moments as brother and sister reflect, often wryly and honestly, on the power of their bond and the full catastrophe that is family life. - Sydney Morning Herald This book, like Connie and Samuel's lives, is much bigger than their experience of misfortune. - Canberra Times

Pages : 141
Book Description
“There is more—more than what the Church has told you.” I had been a Lutheran pastor for twenty-nine years when I sensed an inner, inaudible voice telling me this. Listening to that inner voice led me to a wonderful friendship with Echo Bodine, who is a psychic, and to explorations of Buddhism, Sufism, the Tao Te Ching, meditation centers, reincarnation, Aramaic, and much more. Do you sense there is more? A deeper truth about yourself, God, and reality, that wants to be known and lived? This book reveals my true journey, told within the framework of a fictional story. The main character, Sam, is intrigued when he hears that the message of Jesus is to know and live from the Divine that is naturally within him, in everyone, and in everything. This leads us to deep conversations in a tavern, on a boat, at a playground, in the woods, under the stars, in a sanctuary, on a golf course, at home watching comedy and the news, and at a hospice home. The discussions that Sam and I have about our own struggles, questions, and discoveries eventually lead us to affirm that we are here to grow into the love from which our souls emerged. Welcome to the conversation. You are love. Tim
