Before My Heart Stops: A Memoir

Synopsis

"I was born with half a heart. God made up the difference."

After living for more than three decades with congenital heart disease, popular musician Paul Cardall has undergone twenty-eight operations and seven open-heart surgeries. But the one surgery he needed most—his last chance at seeing his threeyear-old daughter, Eden, grow up—was a heart transplant. This is the remarkable true story of one man's struggle for a second chance at life.

During this struggle, Paul wrote down his thoughts, feelings, and observations in an online blog called Living for Eden. This book reflects those weekly blog entries—insights and wisdom beyond his years. After hearing his story, you may come away asking yourself, "Who do I need to love . . . before my heart stops?"

This unabridged audio version of Before My Heart Stops is recorded by Paul Cardall with narrations by his wife, Lynette, and his father, Dwayne Cardall. Also featured is the foreword written and recorded by Dr. Angela Yetman. Listeners will also enjoy excerpts from Paul's music.
