Gilbreath’s book seeks to ‘offer hope for anyone facing a life or health crisis’

Sammy Gilbreath’s life has been a miracle according to his family, his friends and especially his doctors. They told him he would die decades ago.

But he didn’t. His heart’s still beating, and he’s still got stories to live and stories to tell.

The Alabama Baptist has covered him over the years, most recently through Season 1 of the Stories podcast available at thealabamabaptist.org/stories-podcast/season-one.

But now Gilbreath’s story is available in a different format — a book called “Learning to Live Like You’re Dying” that chronicles his adventures, heart journey and passion to share his faith in every possible circumstance.

The book also provides a four-part Bible study based on the four points of Gilbreath’s “Live Like You’re Dying” sermon, which he’s preached in churches all over the place through the years: value the promise of life, value spiritual blessings over physical things, value a clear conscience and value remembering.

“I want the book to offer hope for anyone facing a life or health crisis,” Gilbreath said. “I want it to point people to Christ as their Lord and Savior.”
