Peace. What is it? We all search for it yet it eludes us. We can feel the peace in some people around us while others have nothing. I have seen people at death's door absolutely terrified while others have radiated peace and tranquility. I have seen patients die who had virtually all the medical odds in their favor. I have also seen the miracle of patients young and old surviving against all odds. Come with me as I share with you some of the witnesses I have seen and experienced in my 32 years of medical education and practice. It has been and continues to be an amazing journey. When I first started this book endeavor, I honestly thought the personal patient stories I felt compelled to tell were common in medicine. I was certain that other doctors and healthcare professionals also experienced the same spiritual journey that I have witnessed over the course of my career. As it turns out, the remarkable patient stories that have been revealed to me are somewhat unique in the medical field. The doctors I spoke to, particularly cardiologists and other terminal care specialists, all said they would be fascinated by such stories. I m honored to share them with you just as I have been honored by the patients who first shared them with me. Dr. Richard Howard
