  • If These Ears Could Sing!

    Michael Gannon

    eBook (DMF Publishing, Sept. 17, 2010)
    This award winning book "If These Ears Could Sing!" is both an insightful journey and rollicking ride through the life of a profoundly deaf man. Mike Gannon was born without hearing in both ears, a condition that made it difficult to communicate with the outside world but opened his awareness to the world within. And that inner awareness eventually brought him to a place where reality is self-created and a person's wildest dreams can be manifested. You've read about the law of attraction; now see the law of attraction in action. If you are deaf, you will find both validation and humor in Mike Gannon's experiences and you will open to explore what is possible. If you are not deaf, you will find his story an inspiration and proof that we are truly designers of our own future.
