ï»ï»ï»ï»ï»ï»ï»ï»ï»ï»ï»ï»Guy Davidson was the greatest shepherd pastor I have ever known! He loved people, and people loved him. In a world where pastors are now more "CEOs" than anything, Guy Davidson swam against the current by putting people first. Just the mention of his name inevitably causes the faces of those who knew him to light up in a way that is hard to describe. He truly was one-of-a-kind. I learned more about being a pastor from Guy Davidson than from anyone else. This book you are about to read is a testament to what being a shepherd pastor is all about.[1]

ï»ï»ï»ï»ï»In my more than 40 years of being a physical therapist, there are only a handful of patients that stand out as outstanding. Guy was my first and the one who inspired me to open an outpatient clinic for the rehabilitation of stroke and neurological diseases. Truly, if all patients could work as hard, have as much family and friend support, have the insurance capability to get the rehab they need, and have a little help from God, there would be less disability from stroke.
