Includes an editorial reflection from a Houston Methodist cardiologist. Some people get a second chance in theory.
He woke up with one beating in his chest.
At forty years old, W. Adam Greer walked into an emergency room expecting treatment for pneumonia. Instead, he was told he was dying.
On July 4, 2022, one family's world broke.
By July 5, another family's world was being rebuilt.
After outliving every prognosis, Greer received the call that would define his second life: a donor heart was waiting.
In July 5: The Day I Lived Twice, Greer recounts the journey from diagnosis to transplant through faith, fear and the fragile beauty of recovery.
With raw honesty and reverent humor, he brings readers inside the ICU, the waiting rooms, the whispered prayers and the gratitude that now fuels every breath.
More than a medical memoir, this is a story about grace in motion - how courage, clarity and compassion can coexist in the face of impossible odds.
Each chapter reads like a heartbeat: rising, falling, steadying - until life itself feels new again.
For anyone waiting for a transplant, living with heart failure, or trying to understand the miracle and weight of a donor's gift - this story was written with you in mind.
If you've ever wrestled with hope, questioned faith or wondered if miracles still happen, this story will stay with you long after the final page. Perfect for readers of:
- Between Two Kingdoms - Suleika Jaouad
- Proof of Heaven - Dr. Eben Alexander
- Everything Happens for a Reason - Kate Bowler
- When Breath Becomes Air - Paul Kalanithi
