Synopsis:

Taking his heartbeats for granted, Brian L. Fowler, MD, never thought he would lose any of his own. But on October 14, 2009, he discovers his beats are being stolen one by one. The culprit? A rare inflammatory disease called cardiac sarcoidosis, which results in deep, penetrating scars that trigger unpredictable life-threatening arrhythmias.

Dr Fowler, an emergency medicine specialist, understands the deadly potential of each arrhythmia. His fear of death reveals an additional and more insidious heart disease, which is undetectable by PET scan or EKG, for its affected heart rests deeply hidden where anguish and delight coexist. Like his physical heart, his spiritual heart is weary, scarred, and beats chaotically. The two diseased hearts need diagnosis, treatment, and healing. Frustrated, scared, and armed with a physician's knowledge, a patient's suffering, and a believer's doubt, he begins a fascinating journey to discover the real reason for The Beating of My Hearts.

"With transparency, vulnerability, and honesty, Brian allows us to look in on his profound disorientation, hear his questions, follow his search for meaning, and ultimately discover a fresh orientation to the life that was in him all along. I found myself walking closely and attentively with him on his journey. This was well worth the read."

About the Author: Brian Fowler, MD, is a native Texan. He is board certified in emergency medicine and has treated more than one hundred thousand patients. After serving eight years in the United States Navy, he settled with his wife, Cindy, and their two children, Morgen and Wil, in the beautiful Texas Hill Country. He is cofounder of The Geneva School of Boerne and co-owner of the Urgent Care and Occupational Health Centers of Texas, PA. Though a Christian since the age of seventeen, Dr. Fowler's battle with cardiac sarcoidosis was the catalyst to rediscovering his relationship with Christ-a union he knew and feared had been compromised for many years. He now acknowledges Christ every morning before letting his feet touch the floor. Dependence on his spiritual pacemaker never ceases.
