More Time to Love

When given a diagnosis of ALS, most victims struggle to make peace with a 2-3 year death sentence. Joe Wions, an energetic businessman who loved his work, his family, and his community, instead made the decision to live. Joe takes his readers on a journey from nightmares to miracles. Abandoned by Western medicine, he sets out on a quest for alternatives and discovers some surprisingly effective therapies. Determined to find a cure, Joe endures harrowing moments of decline, but eventually stumbles upon the keys that unlock healing in both his body and his mind. Insights and stories from his companions round out this detailed (and often humorous) personal account of Joe’s heroic struggle—between helplessness and power, the physical and the philosophical, personal choice and the punishing reality of ALS. --------------------- "'More Time to Love' by Joe Wions offers hope, inspiration and wisdom for people living with ALS. This is the story of a man who, in facing the unthinkable, discovered the truth that ALS may be a portal for deep personal healing. Joe discovered the power of the mind/body connection as he faced ALS with an intention to live in a healing way, and shows the wisdom of this lifestyle beyond any physical benefits." —Craig Oster, PhD, 20+-year survivor of ALS & Co-founder/Scientist/Advocate at THE HEALERS campaign, www.HealingWithDrCraig.com “...An antidote against the total frustration, loneliness, and meaninglessness one feels when lost in this disease. If you are seeking a guide to help cope with ALS, this book is a great, hands on tool.”—Dr. Wolf-Dieter Kessler, M.D. PhD “Joe’s family didn’t just survive the nightmare of ALS. They rejected feelings of hopelessness and embraced healing, blessings, gratitude, and the miracle of loving more deeply. I kept the tissues nearby while reading this remarkable book. Through Joe's deepest thoughts, we can truly understand his powerful commitment to living.” —Louise Hart, EdD, author of The Winning Family
