@BanyenBooksSoundVancouver joins David Roche for a conversation on his book, The Church of 80% Sincerity. https://www.banyen.com/events/roche

Born with a severe facial deformity, David has had a life that's been anything but easy. Still, over time he's learned to accept his gifts as well as his flaws, and to see that, sometimes, they are one and the same.

In his book The Church of 80% Sincerity, David Roche shares the inspiring, poignant, wickedly funny, and sometimes heartbreaking story of his journey from shame to self-acceptance. Based on his signature one-man show of the same title, the book provides an irresistible and unforgettable glimpse of his (and everyone's) inner beauty and worth, and offers profound encouragement in dealing with whatever life brings.

"David lost the great big outward thing, the good looking packaging, and still the real parts endured. They shine through like crazy, the brilliant mind and humour, the depth of generosity, the intense blue eyes." – ANNE LAMOTT

David's face distinguishes him from all other presenters and speakers. What really makes David unique, however, is his remarkable spirit, warmth, wit and authenticity.
