Product Description
Product Description
Dying to Live is about facing challenges. Being miserable. Finding faith. Learning to let go and learning to trust. It is the inspiring story of Gaea Shaw's journey from heart transplant recipient to gold medal winner at the Olympic-style Transplant Games. But Gaea's story is much more than that. Her gift to her readers is that she encourages each of us to see that we all face our own challenges-and that each of us can experience an abundant life, filled with gratitude, no matter the odds.

A Heroine's Journey, April 28 2005
By Chris Mohr - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dying to Live: From Heart Transplant to Abundant Life (Paperback)
Gaea Shaw's account of her heart disease, heart transplant and her new life is an inspiration to anyone whose life is spinning out of control. Gaea did all the right things: healthy diet, exercise--but her heart was giving out, and she was close to death. Her courageous descent into total surrender left me in tears. Shaw doesn't spare us any of the emotional turmoil she went through during this life-threatening experience, and yet this short book is written in a clear, simple, and unsentimental style. The way she told her story adds even more power to it. For myself, I know that if I were facing such a dire medical operation, at first I would be overwhelmed with fear and confusion. But Gaea's story elicited a deeper force within me (and all of us) which has the power to carry us through our darker hours, whether we are confronting day-to-day struggles or a life-and-death crisis.

What a Remarkable Story!, May 12 2005
By Ron Segal - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dying to Live: From Heart Transplant to Abundant Life (Paperback)
This is an amazing story! I went to bed reading it and woke up and finished it...was late to work and don't regret it.There are many overwhelming moments, but none like the donor mother feeling her son's heart beating inside of Gaea. What an important and beautiful story, I've never read the likes of it.

Life changing experience, May 5 2005
By Gail M. Kenney - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dying to Live: From Heart Transplant to Abundant Life (Paperback)
An amazing and beautifully written account of the path Gaea emabrked on in having a heart transplant. The impact on her renewed life and the ripple effect on those around her. Her account is clear and moving, equally so are the accounts of those who share her experience, especially the donor family. This book moved me greatly, a must read by anyone looking toward oragan transplant, and anyone considering donating.
