Anxious? Stressed? Frustrated? Looking for Solutions?
As a practicing physician for over twenty years, that's exactly the situation Johnny Cavazos was in. What stunned and shocked him the most was one inescapable fact.
He didn't know what he didn't know.
As he describes it, "The best analogy I can offer is that it's like taking your car to a mechanic to replace a faulty fuel pump and he hands you the keys to a brand new Mercedes Benz and says, "take it, it's yours." (That's how Elvis used to give away cars.) There is more value here than a new Mercedes."
In this poignant and riveting account of his decade long journey of discovery, you will be entertained while gaining valuable insight to help understand and actually appreciate the waves, trials and storms that we all encounter in our lives.
This inspiring narrative of personal experiences will reveal useful and practical approaches to help increase joy, clarity, love and personal peace in your life.

With brutal honesty and humor, Johnny uses short vignettes from the medical world and from the captivating world of near-death experiences to take us on a journey that is spell binding, powerful and life changing.
Writing in a comfortable and warm style, Johnny takes us on this trip into spirituality, faith and the near death experience as he unpacks ideas that will open up an experience of clarity and vision that you didn't even realize existed.
Brave the Wave will share valuable insights that will have a personal and powerful impact on every relationship you have, bringing benefits to you and everyone around you.
Johnny Cavazos is a practicing emergency room physician with over thirty years of experience. As he likes to say in his books. Experience matters.
Johnny actually started working in emergency rooms as a senior in high school at the age of seventeen. The ER is an amalgam of fascinating experiences that run the gamut of life. These experiences provided a background fertile ground for growth and understanding that transcended the normal daily routine case load in the ER.
Because of a series of untoward stumbles and failures, Johnny landed in a world of stress, anxiety and frustration. This lead him to"decade of discovery". A ten year journey of spiritual discovery, enlightenment, and clarity. The result? Four books. The Authentic Self Series.
My first book, "Brave The Wave", focuses on the"Authentic Self" and how we can move closer to the idea or the blueprint that God had in mind when he created us. True authenticity. Not the "best version" or a "better version of our self" because those bring something into the equation that tends to take us in the wrong direction. Our own personal opinion or the opinion of others.
I believe there is an ideal. It is objective. It is who God has in mind. Some people will say,"that's easy. God wants us to be like Jesus. That's it." That is a great starting point and there is no question that there is no downside to emulating Jesus. But we are endowed with talents, experiences, passions and gifts that are distinct and unique. Unique to us as individuals.
Engaging all of these while striving to grow in ourrelationship to Jesus is the key to reaching our "Authentic Self".
Along the way, we are going to have trials, trouble, and waves.
Hence, "Brave The Wave".
