Still Me,
by Christopher Reeve
Is one of the greatest displays of courage from a man who is not a born again Christian that I have ever read. Christopher Reeve played the role of Superman in several movies before his accident.

The indignities this man suffers just to get through one day will leave the reader thankful for the simple things of life we take for granted. This book is published by Ballantine Books, New York.
