Dr. Chuck Dietzen Pens PINT-SIZED PROPHETS

INDIANAPOLIS, March 29, 2016 /PRNewswire-iReach/ An uplifting and motivational story is sometimes just what the doctor ordered. In the newly released book, Pint-Sized Prophets: Inspirational Moments That Taught Me We Are All Born To Be Healers, Dr. Chuck Dietzen shares his collection of stories and life lessons that are sure to inspire change, compassion, and true leadership in readers.

Pint-Sized Prophets recounts the raw, inspiring joy and optimism that Dr. Chuck has gathered from his patients all over the world as a pediatric rehabilitation doctor and the founder of the international nonprofit organization, Timmy Global Health. The book charts his journey from working alongside Mother Teresa, to the former Soviet Union as he helps children, and to the center of a wrestling ring in Indianapolis as he helps children with disabilities demonstrate their abilities.

The stories of Dr. Chuck's patients expressed within the pages of Pint-Sized Prophets serve as reminders that we can all make a difference. Simple lessons like "be present" and "be humble" are amplified by the overarching message of hope and kindness proof that small packages can carry big impact.

Mike Maddock, founding partner, Maddock Douglas, Ringleader Ventures & McGuffin Creative Group had this to say about his experience with Dr. Chuck: "In Ecuador I watched Dr. Chuck make hundreds of kids smile while he was making them physically healthier. Most leaders spend a lifetime trying to become successful and only a short few years trying to become significant. Dr. Chuck's formula has been the complete opposite. He knew early that his calling was to care for kids and has created extraordinary ways to live this mission. That's why this is the first leadership book that I will give to my kids."

Pint-Sized Prophets is available now at Amazon.com and other online retailers. Proceeds from book sales will support Dr. Chuck's missions both locally and around the world for improved and accessible healthcare.
