Why Does Terri Schiavo's Life-and Death-Matter for
America?
David Gibbs, attorney for Mary and Bob Schindler, Terri's parents,
gives his insider's account of the story that tore the heart out of
a nation. He explains how Terri's case has become the Roe v. Wade
of our generation.
"David Gibbs argues convincingly that life is a precious gift from
God
that must be protected."
-Jeb Bush, Governor of Florida
"Many thanks to David Gibbs for providing us with a powerful
insider's look into the inhumane, court-ordered injustice
perpetrated against Terri Schiavo. No reader of this book will be
able to remain unconcerned about the chilling precedent her case
sets and its implications for the future. It's a moving and
compelling reminder of why we need to defend those who cannot speak
for themselves and uphold the sanctity of all human life!"
-Jim Daly, President, Focus on the Family
"The struggle over life and death...as seen through a lawyer's
eyes. Regardless of where you stand on the life and death of Terri
Schindler Schiavo, the story of both the legal and human struggle
she represents remains one to which we should all listen."
-Nancy A. Grace, Host of CNN-Headline News' Nancy Grace show and
Court TV's Nancy Grace's Closing Argument
"As a quadriplegic, I thank God for courageous advocates like my
friend David Gibbs who hold fast to life values no matter how
severe the circumstances. In Fighting for Dear Life David presents
thoughtful arguments and practical advice that will help the reader
forge an honorable path through the legal, medical, and moral
complexities of life. I highly recommend this excellent
book."
- Joni Eareckson Tada, Joni and Friends International Disability
Center
"Fighting for Dear Life proclaims the clear message that we long
for the world to hear. David fought courageously to save Terri's
life and loved our family during some of the darkest hours of our
lives."
