Mark Stang was raised in a loving family but struggled in school and suffered low self-esteem. His reaction was to feel that he needed to be the best in order to be accepted. As a young man, he was on his way to being a farmer when he felt a "tug" to do more. He decided to enter the seminary, which meant giving up his dream. He continued to struggle with a sense of inadequacy, feeling like a fish out of the water. He eventually learned that surrendering to God--who loves him beyond his knowledge--is the way to find the water...only to be diagnosed with cancer a year before his ordination to the priesthood. His inspiring journey, including more than one supernatural event, shows us the power in surrendering to God.
