Author Lonnell Johnson shares his powerful testimony of overcoming incredible odds in Embracing Your Life Sentence: How to Turn Life’s Greatest Tragedies into Your Greatest Triumphs. When diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2000, Lonnell Johnson did not see “a death sentence.” Instead, he saw a “life sentence” that transformed his thinking. In his book, he shares his holistic strategy to overcome any adversity. Weaving original poetry and Scripture into his battle plan, Johnson shows how he emerged, as not just a survivor but more than a conqueror.
