ABOUT MY BOOK

8 DAYS TILL SUNRISE

This is a story about a man going down a path he hadn’t intended to go down where he lost his way. He thought he was going through one of life’s difficult trials when he hit the side of a building at high speed in a skydiving accident. And that is when his real trial began. The accident left him in a coma for 8 days. He woke up from the coma to a badly broken body that required him to stay in the hospital for 3 and a half months and undergo 11 months of rehabilitation and relearn to walk. The accident was a blessing as the recovery from the accident allowed him time to rest and reevaluate his path and purpose in life. As he started to recover physically, he also started recovering mentally and spiritually. He determined the steps he needed to take to change his life and become the person he wanted to become again. His recovery was guided by the scriptures and lessons from the Bible that he learned throughout his life.

Overcoming Hopeless Situations

People are strong enough and have the knowledge within to overcome the struggles they are encountering in their lives. The key to overcoming their struggles is unleashing their strength and applying their knowledge.

ABOUT ME

Jason Dennen

Author | Inspirational Speaker

Jason Dennen is a Christian, author, inspirational speaker, skydiver, mountain climber, triathlete and explorer. He describes himself on most days as just a normal everyday guy. He was born and raised in New Jersey and moved to Colorado to explore and test his limits in the wide-open spaces of the west. He was in a skydiving accident that almost took his life. The doctor who performed emergency lifesaving surgery on him stared at his comatose body the day after the surgery in utter disbelief. The doctor told his family that he couldn’t believe he survived all of the traumatic injuries that he had incurred during the accident. He said that no one survives what Jason just survived. No one. Jason woke up from a coma that lasted 8 days and required him to undergo multiple surgeries to repair 4 organs and 20 broken bones. His badly broken body required him to stay in the hospital for 3 and a half months, undergo 11 months of rehabilitation and relearn to walk. After being told by his doctor he may never be able to run again, he decided to sign up for a triathlon to test the doctor’s prognosis. Less than 1 year after the accident he completed a triathlon and proved the doctor wrong. The long journey to recovery from the accident allowed him time to reassess the direction of his life and answer the question why was his life spared. This second chance at life revealed to him a new purpose in life. He promised himself that he would share his story and what he learned to help others that are going through difficult hardships in their own lives.

I don’t know what to call his words from this morning. It was more than a speech, more than a sermon. Maybe I’ll call it an oratory exhibition. It was moving, powerful, and inspirational.

Today I got to listen to Jason tell the story of how he overcame such adversity. What was moving is how he made his message relatable and fun even though it could have been a tragedy. It inspired people to look at their challenges in life and grow beyond them and move forward and take on whatever life throws at them. He allows people to find hope and grow their life.

5/5
When I came across this book, I thought it would be a thriller of a tragic real accident. I was so moved when I discovered this book is about strength and perseverance. It doesn't try to sugar coat that life is fair or you only experience few and sometimes serious trials. Jason Dennen clearly and concisely explains that faith and attitude are footholds that prepare you for all the uncertainties in life. And, more so for him, how to find purpose beyond strength. Moving and inspiring.
