Joy and Suffering: My Life with ALS

Martin D’Amore and his wife are both doctors, so when they began to notice possible ALS symptoms in Marty, they desperately looked for other causes. But after many tests and meetings with experts, Marty finally got the word, he had Lou Gehrig’s disease, and the clock began to tick. ALS robs its victims of their physical abilities, from their muscular activity, to their nervous system, and, finally, their ability to even breathe. All the while, the mind remains intact. It is a brutal, often soul-crushing disease, and yet Marty has persevered and even grown as a result of ALS. Discover how Marty’s battle with ALS has led him to a greater relationship with Christ, a better understanding of himself, and, finally, to great contentment and happiness. Whether or not you or someone you love is battling ALS, this inspiring true story of love and courage will help you find joy through your sufferings.
