Strength Beyond Measure is the remarkable story of a twenty-one year old soldier's battle with cancer. While undergoing an emergency appendectomy, Joseph Michael was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer. The story begins with Joseph's diagnosis and works its way through the many challenges he, and his family, faced throughout his sixteen month ordeal. The reader comes away with a true appreciation for what fighting an aggressive cancer is like, overshadowed by the tenacity of the human spirit, the power of love, and the strength of the human mind. As Stuart Scott stated, "When you die, it does not mean that you lose to cancer. You beat cancer by how you live, why you live, and the manner in which you live." Joseph Michael made these words come to life. **All of the author's proceeds will be used to help cancer patients & their families**
