This Changes Everything

A Surprisingly Funny Story About Race, Cancer, Faith, and Other Things We Don't Talk About

De: Tyler Merritt

Narrado por: Tyler Merritt, Jerrie Merritt, David Tieche, Dr. Marcus Tan

*NATIONAL BESTSELLER*

A cancer diagnosis caused Tyler Merritt—beloved author of I Take My Coffee Black—to realize that there was no time for anger, unforgiveness, foolishness, or lost friendships. None of us have any time to waste.

When Tyler Merritt was diagnosed with cancer, everything he thought he knew about what mattered in life changed. Though he made it through a highly invasive surgery and thought he was in the clear, Tyler soon realized that the cancer had other plans. It wasn’t a question of if the tumor would come back for an encore, his doctors told him. It was a question of when. The clock was ticking.

This Changes Everything is a humorous and optimistic love letter to this beautiful life. As Tyler counts down the days until his next scan, he begins to understand that none of us have time for anger, for being unforgiving, for foolishness, for letting relationships drift, or for letting friendships to be lost. It’s a clear-eyed reckoning with the reality that our time on this earth is limited and a hopeful vision of how each of us can make the most of the time we have left.

Laced with Tyler’s trademark humor, love of pop culture, and arguably too many musical theater references, This Changes Everything is a story about how wrestling with the idea of death can birth a whole new outlook on life, how we live it, and the urgency that comes when you grasp that time is a precious commodity.

Must Read!!!

I found Tyler through Jen Hatmaker and instantly bought his first book which was amazing but I knew for this next book I wanted the audible version. Tyler is the best storyteller! He made me laugh out loud and cry. This is one of the best audio books I have ever read.

A must listen!

Listening to a Tyler Merritt book is like sitting down to have a meaningful conversation with a good friend. You will laugh. You will cry. You will learn about things in history you never knew but you should know! You will feel seen. You will feel heard. You will feel like you are not alone. And if you happen to be part of a group you never asked to join (those like me who have heard the words 'you have cancer'), you will feel understood. Thank you Tyler for loving us all so well.

Don't miss this life changing story!

Tyler is the best storyteller!! You will feel like you are sitting with him hearing this story. You'll laugh, you'll cry, then you'll laugh till you can't breathe. You will love it so much you will listen to it several times!!

Relatable to other surgeries & illnesses

As a survivor of both brain and heart surgery, I can say Tyler nailed it not just for cancer, but for any kind of daunting medical undertaking like this. Quit making me cry on my commute, Tyler!

amazing as always

loved everything about it. made me laugh, cry, smile & made my heart smile.

Tyler Merritt is truly amazing! I love his little chuckle at the ends of funny lines.

I kept waiting for a whole chapter about meeting Jen Hatmaker. Come on, Tyler!! I knew you met her in NYC, so in the chapter about that trip, I was waiting patiently for the big reveal of that magical meeting. Lordy! It is a good thing I have pre-order her upcoming book, Awake. I bet she will give us the details! Hehe

Remarkable point of view

The passion in the reading was very moving. It kept my interest all the way through

Tyler’s Voice!!!

This is definitely a book to LISTEN to. OVER AND OVER, if not for listening to your friend’s voice, but because it’s THAT GOOD! And you should also BUY the book book to follow along because it has more good stuff in the footnotes. MY DUDE!

Honest, heartfelt and hilarious

Grateful Tyler is willing to share his story, and those of others, with us. I laughed, I cried and then I laughed and cried some more. Just a truly great read.
