Surprised by Joy

Surprised by Joy Synopsis

Surprised by Joy, is more than the autobiography of an extraordinary man, it is a manifest for a better world. It follows Dr Mike Meegan's remarkable journey to the poorest places on Earth where he encounters passion and love amidst death, disaster and corruption. Even in the most deprived places, he finds grace and the victory of gentleness over cruelty.

Surprised by Joy is an inspiring adventure full of passion, tragedy and drama. It is a book about Africa, about friendship and tears; it is an honest, sometimes brutal, meditation of what it means to live, to live here, now. His words are born of tears, but mostly tears of joy, tears of wonder. They speak with a passion and sincerity, sharing a message the world urgently need to hear. If there is a book that will touch you, this will be it.
