In Take Up Your Bed and Walk: This Is My Story!, the author gives you a detailed and heartfelt chronological account of his journey through and triumph over the devastating effects of deadly cancer in 2007! Now a multiyear cancer survivor/thriver and counting, Dr. Haywood tells about God's grace and continued granting of one new beginning after another!
