The Gift of Stuttering

Growing up with a debilitating stutter and seemingly unanswerable questions about G-d, Moe Mernick found everyday life to be a painful and lonely experience. After suffering for years, Moe discovered an exceptional life of meaning and purpose — and in doing so, turned the tables on his speech impediment.

This is a remarkable story of one man's journey from despair to hope, from anger at G-d to spiritual fulfillment, from being a rebellious teenager to becoming a motivational speaker and entrepreneur. It's a story of finding meaning within life's challenges and of transforming the heaviest burdens into the greatest gifts.
