This week’s Book●ed webcast re-broadcast (starting November 17th) continues my thought-provoking interview with David Murrary, co-author with Lt. Col. Mark Weber of the true, inspirational bestseller Tell My Sons. At the age of 41, Mark lost a valiant 3-year battle with cancer. He spent the last year of his life transforming his lifelong personal journals into a book with the David Murray’s skillful help. While Tell My Sons began as a legacy to Mark’s children, it took on a life of its own as an inspirational memoir with remarkable wisdom we can all apply to our own lives. David Murray shares the incredible backstory of this transformative book this week on U-Stream and, as always, in the Book●ed Archives.
