A Stroke of Faith

Mark Moore Β· 2017
86/100
πŸ‘ Worth It

When entrepreneur Mark Moore survived two strokes in 2007 that doctors called unsurvivable, he emerged with a story worth telling. This memoir traces his path from a life built on self-reliance through medical crisis, rehabilitation, and a faith that deepened under pressure. The writing is honest rather than polished β€” Moore doesn't sanitize the fear or the slow grind of recovery β€” and that candor is exactly what makes it encouraging for survivors and caregivers. The theological perspective is explicitly evangelical Christian, so readers from other traditions may find it less universal. For the audience it's written for, though, it delivers genuine warmth and hard-won hope.
