Time's Up

Not many people get the chance to write about their death. But Art Townsend is one of them. On June 11, 2009, Art had a sudden cardiac arrest while working out at the Y. He was shocked back to life 16 times by the EMTs and Emergency Room medical personnel at the nearby hospital, who fought to save his life. Weeks later, when Art left the hospital, they called him “The Miracle Man.” One doctor said: “Nobody who gets shocked 16 times ever sits up in bed and walks these halls.” In Time’s Up, Art tells the story of how he has been given a second chance at life, and how God gave him the gift to really start living. Read the story of his death and learning what it means to live.
