The Power of Persistence is the story of Kevin Davis, a man who was afflicted with Cerebral Palsy from birth. Every person afflicted with any debilitating illness fights the desire to be âÂÂnormal.â Kevin knew normal, as the world uses the word, would never be. Kevin made the decision early on not to view normal as the way a person walks, talks, speaks, eats, or does anything else in life. He decided to view normal as the way he expressed his desires and the way he strived to achieve his goals. He decided to never let this affliction stop him from achieving anything he wanted to achieve. This is his story, from early years, through all the medical procedures and operations, to graduating with a Bachelors Degree in Biblical Studies and becoming a minister. Kevin was awarded the Christian Life College, Clyde J. Haney Award. This is a story for anyone who wants to overcome adversity, achieve their life time goals, and develop a strong relationship with God.
