Publisher Description
Are you ready to embrace your life with your whole heart?
Part biography, part master class, Living the Braveheart Life will challenge readers to fight to win on the greatest battlefield of all: the one inside the human heart, the one where an individual stands alone before God.
Once chosen as a speaker at the National Prayer Breakfast, Wallace shares how reflecting back on his life and career at that moment opened his eyes. “I’m not a philosopher or a preacher; I’m a storyteller, like Jesus. As nearly as I can tell, that’s my only similarity with him. Except for one other thing: like him, I’ve also cried out, ‘My God, why have you forsaken me?’” Fans of Braveheart will see how the Spirit who created Braveheart formed Randall Wallace’s life and career. Not the other way around.

About Randall Wallace
Randall Wallace is the Oscar-nominated
creative force behind the epic storytelling of such box-office hits as Braveheart, We Were Soldiers, Pearl
Harbor, and Secretariat. In
addition to his work in film and television, he is also an author. Wallace’s
skill with unusual yet true tales of loyalty, courage, and commitment
throughout human history has set him apart in Hollywood. He attended Duke
University, where he studied Russian, religion, and literature, which he says
made him acutely aware of how the past can be shockingly relevant to the
present. After Duke, he put himself through a graduate year of seminary by
teaching martial arts. He continued down an ever-shifting path, managing an
animal show at Nashville’s Opryland, signing a contract as a songwriter, and
writing articles for Architectural Digest.
It was only when he moved to California in 1980 that he found what he was
looking for when he read his first screenplay. Wallace was taken under the wing
of leading television producer Stephen J. Cannell and spent several years
writing for television series in the late 80s and early 90s. In addition to his
work as a filmmaker and novelist, Wallace is the founder of Hollywood for
Habitat for Humanity.
