*SURPRISED TO BE STANDING: A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY*.
.
Some may recall when I rolled around using either
a manual or a motorized wheelchair. Others of you
may remember me saying for what seems like a long
time now that I?ve been writing about what happened
and why I?m no longer using a wheelchair. And, as
I?ve been saying for several years, the fact that
I?m no longer using a chair is not nearly as
significant as no longer being in intense, chronic
pain all the time. This memoir is the story of my
life from the onset of my disability at the age of
five until now, fifty plus years later. In this book,
I explore living with a disability, promoting
Disability Culture, and a healing journey. Below are
some words others have offered about the book, which
is available so far, from:

*What Others Say:*

"*SURPRISED TO BE STANDING: A Spiritual Journey*"
is both reflective and eloquent. In this memoir,
Steven E. Brown has delivered an honest meditation
on what it means to find meaning in a broken body.
Ultimately he delivers a restorative message of
redemption and the hope that lies in the mind/body
connection ."

?Your book should cross the Ocean and come to Europe.
It would be translated in other languages
(French, German, Albanian, Serbian, Dutch, Italian,
Russian, Greek?). It is very important for the
disability movement on a global level. You will change
the world.?

ripen by following through with a commitment to
participate in his own healing no matter what
it might take.?
