Due to technical difficulties at BlogTalkRadio, this show was terminated prematurely. We will reschedule with Reg for another date. But you may hear this first recording, which we will label "Part One."

 

Joyce’s guest is Reg Green, author of “Gifts That Heal.” Fifteen years ago, seven-year-old Nicholas Green was killed byhighway robbers in 1994 while vacationing in Italy with his family.

 

His parents, Reg and Maggie Green, agreed to donate his organs and corneas, which went to seven Italians waiting for transplants, four of them teenagers. Without the transplants two would be blind and most, if not all the others, dead.

 

The world took the story--and the Greens--to its heart and in Italy little Nicholas became a national hero.
