Finding Value in Another's Experience
Full disclosure: I am not a Christian. So why did I take the time to read and review a Christian book? Because the author invited me to, and I'm glad I accepted the invitation. Anyone who has experienced or cared for those who experienced debilitating illness, unexpected hardships or unexpected detours in what you thought life would be, has experienced the darkness before the dawn. And if you haven't, you will. How do you survive this? How do you find the way through? One way is through your faith. From birth Clark was raised to be a believer and it was this foundation that gave him strength. I found myself wondering about his wife. She had a huge role to play. What kept her strong? It's a good book to read and learn from regardless of your faith and trials in life.

Compelling, gripping and inspiring
This is an astonishing book on the deepest imaginable despair and adversity. It didn’t make me feel uncomfortable at all. On the contrary, it is highly compelling, gripping and inspiring. The author, an Iraq-veteran bedridden due to heavy toxin exposure, takes us on a fantastic journey finding the comfort, strength and power of religion and Christ. It’s a story of embracing the yoke, or as the author preferably puts it, ‘discipleship’ of Christianity, a blessing of the Savior in the darkest hours. I understand there’s a second book by the same author on this theme. Without any doubt, I’m going to read that one as well. David R. Clark is an amazing writer able to turn tremendous personal experiences of Pain into beautiful universal messages of Hope and Love.

I had a difficult time putting this book down. I read it in 2 days (though only because I put it down to sleep and go to church). The author does a fantastic job keeping the reader pulled into his heartfelt journey of highs, lows and sometimes even despair but never yielding his faith in God.
I have gone through dark times in my life and questioned why God had not answered my prayers to heal my son. I also came to see that God doesn’t cause bad things to happen to us but He uses those challenges to draw us near to Him.
This book is an inspiring memoir that will open the eyes of those who seek to know the Father in Heaven. It is a beacon of hope to those feeling lost, forgotten, or unseen by others.
I would definitely recommend this book and look forward to reading Book 2!

God Is indeed Always With You
This book brought back a lot of memories during my own times of tribulation and questioning God. While I am not a soldier or Mormon, the struggles and blessings mentioned are human and God divine. I can relate to all of this during and after the death of my first wife to cancer. we all question God when dark times hit, but as long as we put God first, things will dramatically improve in short order. Thank you for this trie story of faith, hardship, and love of family.

Miracles and Tender Mercies
What a raw and real yet wonderfully encouraging book about one man's journey living wiith profound disability. There is great honesty in what this means and how true sustenance and hope to endure comes in faith jn the Lord Jesus Christ. If you are in a difficult season of life when all seems lost and the future looks bleak then this book is for you. A great read!

Astounding story of faith
The saying “all gave some and some gave all” repeatedly came to mind as I read this book.
So first I’d like to thank the author and his family for his unbelievable sacrifice for his country.
Truly humbling.
Second I’m grateful for the gift of perspective I gained reading it. There is truly always something to be grateful for—no matter what the circumstances. This book is an incredible reminder of that. Great read!

Great inspirational book!
Wonderful book that has many inspirational stories throughout the Author’s life. It was wonderful to read how he did indeed find Christ in his darkest hour of being completed bedridden within months. A great book that gives hope to anyone that is facing adversity in their life.

An interesting look at a soldier, bedridden, and how he perseveres with God's help
Well written with a bedrock of faith. I can't imagine what David continues to go thru and he's writing books. I'm impressed and humbled by his story. Well worth the read.

Faith abounds!
This book made me rethink my faith. It is so easy to complain about our circumstances but this story has convicted me, especially knowing what the author faces daily. As I have been facing some difficult things I'm hoping my perspective changes as this author's has.
