With Half My Brain Tied Behind My Back Mark Thorsell

" I'll fight you with one hand tied behind my back." That's usually the way the phrase is spoken when one of the fighters feels confident they have an advantage. The title of this book is a play on those words. "With Half My Brain Tied Behind My Back" means I am facing an opponent that appears to have the advantage. My opponent is Parkinson's disease. The fight begins in the brain. As the fight progresses, the adversary usually starts taking out one side of the body. It feels like being in a fight with half of your body and brain tied behind your back. But in this fight, I actually have the advantage. I have a weapon that will lead me to ultimate victory. It is my faith in God. In this book are some random articles and stories I have written over the past few months while fighting this battle. Most are about faith and Parkinson's, with a few others mixed in. But it's all from a Christian mind fighting Parkinson's disease.
