He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother

What if the greatest hero of your life never realized he was one?Growing up in small-town Ohio, Michael Wilson has everything a boy could ask for-baseball fields, neighborhood adventures, lifelong friends, and two older brothers who always have his back. But no one shapes Michael’s life quite like Dave.At more than four hundred pounds, Dave has spent much of his life being judged by what people see on the outside. Behind that imposing frame, however, is a gentle soul with an extraordinary heart-a brother who would sacrifice almost anything for the people he loves. While Dave quietly battles declining health and a lifetime of insecurity, he pours his dreams into his little brother, teaching Michael not only how to play baseball, but how to believe in himself.And Michael begins to soar.From childhood games in a neighborhood field to packed stadiums and an opportunity beyond anything the Wilson family ever imagined, Michael’s baseball dreams suddenly seem within reach. But just when everything he has worked for is finally coming together, life delivers a devastating blow that will test his faith, his family, and the unbreakable bond between two brothers.Some heroes chase their own dreams. Others spend their lives making sure someone else’s come true.Inspired by real-life experiences and cherished memories, He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother is a powerful story of brotherhood, sacrifice, faith, forgiveness, laughter, heartbreak, and the kind of love that doesn’t end when someone leaves us.You may pick up this book for the story.
