Mortal Adhesions: A Surgeon Battles the Seven Deadly Sins to Find Faith, Happiness, and Inner Peace - Hardcover

by John Sottosanti (Author)

Discover the life-changing memoir that reads like a riveting novel--a-page-turner--but reveals the secrets to obtaining profound peace and happiness. "A great book . . . What a rollicking story of faith"-----Gus Lloyd, on Seize the Day, Sirius Satellite Radio. "A compelling memoir . . . It will inspire you."----Drew Mariani on The Drew Mariani Show, Relevant Radio. Relying on his intelligence and perseverance, Dr. Sottosanti achieved the American dream at age forty-two--money, power, fame, and a clifftop house overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Finding himself mired in the Seven Deadly Sins (his "mortal adhesions") and helpless to extricate himself, he cried out in despair, "God, if you are up there, all I want is inner peace." And with that one submission, his life changed, resulting in a cascade of improbable and unbelievable events, culminating in a salvific miracle experienced in the tomb of a medieval saint during a pilgrimage on Spain's Camino de Santiago. Faith, happiness, and inner peace followed. Readers will travel with him to learn life's lessons in an inspiring, riveting, fast-paced memoir. "Vulnerability, humility, trust, and love--components of John Sottosanti's faith journey--have enriched his life and those of his patients and employees." --Ken Blanchard, co-author of The One Minute Manager and Lead Like Jesus
