An amazing man who overcame unimaginable obstacles

I just ordered this book,but I know that I can highly recommend it before I've even read it. James Ballou is one of the most extraordinary people I have ever had the pleasure to know. He has had to overcome horrors that most of us cannot even possibly imagine. Not only did he survive but he has gone on to achieve great success. He is a wonderful husband, father, friend and mentor. I have no doubt that this book is a testament of his courage but am also positive that it only demonstrates a portion of his greatness. Thank you James for sharing your story.
