Heart of a Lion

A Story of God's Grace and a Family's Hope
Derek and John Paul George
Read More Read Less

For the George family, there wasn’t supposed to be hope for their newborn son, John Paul, born with a half-functioning heart that was unable to pump blood throughout his tiny body. But one important yet invisible fact eluded the doctors: John Paul might have only half a heart, but it’s a heart of unbounded courage and strength.

More than a touching memoir, this book offers the practical wisdom gained by a family trying to create a normal life for a teenager dealing with the burdens of being different. Through John Paul, God reveals how our weakness can become our greatest strength. John Paul’s life is a story of grace, everyday miracles and, most of all, hope.
