Longer Description
There has never been a book quite like Facing the Ultimate Fear.
The book is a practical manual exploding with many ways to calm fears, create love in any situation, and rise above challenges which frighten us into thinking that we are trapped. These many ways are integrated within a storyline. Gifts, waiting to be unwrapped.
The book’s clear non-technical language (it reads like a novel) makes it appropriate for beginners. However, its wide range of wisdom as well as its depth of content will appeal to readers who are more interested in the areas of human potential, human behavior, and motivation. But it can be read for its entertainment value only.
Kathleen Lowndes is an ordinary human being who is having an extraordinary chapter in her life. The book begins with her experiences while working as a day class teacher, from the standpoint of what she learns personally. Those lessons assist her on the next part of her life journey, a medical adventure of remarkable proportion. This event provides the framework for the major section of the book. It includes her detailed preparations for one of the most dangerous surgeries known, and how she relearns basic functions after her surgery (walk, talk, think).
As the intense feelings of hope which kick-start her recovery fade, she finds herself just like everyone else who is facing an impossible task. With lots of help, she implements methods which catapult her healing to an astonishingly effective level, and on three occasions gets completely better overnight, only to find that it does not last. Is there a way to make getting better ‘stick?’ Obviously so; she wrote the book.
Even though most readers initially assume that the ultimate fear is the fear of death, there was an even greater fear for the author. However, she had to work her way through the fear of death in order to even know and then be able to tackle the ultimate fear.
The epilogue correlates her experiences with where her culture now stands on the issue of remarkable recoveries of any kind, and draws conclusions about the ultimate fear.
Many books of recent years scream out that remarkable recoveries are possible. This book continues in that tradition but is unique in that the necessary principles are applied in steps to an actual (documented) life-death situation. And all that while you feel like you are right there looking over the author’s shoulder as she implements the principles which energize those steps.
This book is a compelling read for those wanting to grab on to the edge of their seats. It is a thoughtful read for those plagued by mishaps and misunderstandings. It is an uplifting read for those wanting to make a difference. For those wanting to learn anything new, it is an empowering read. And for anyone seeking genuine self-confidence, it is an imperative read.
Facing the Ultimate Fear shows how a medical adventure transforms into an inspirational adventure and the door to life is opened.
