This book takes readers on an emotional journey that is both profound and deeply moving. The author opens the door to one of the most vulnerable chapters of his life, inviting us to witness how he navigated through those darker times with courage and resilience. It offers a sobering reflection that prompted me to examine my own life and circumstances more closely. Often, the most impactful works are those born from a place of authenticity—stories that fearlessly reveal how life's most harrowing experiences have shaped them. I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking to understand how to cope with the unexpected and find themselves at a spiritual crossroads, grappling with more questions than answers. The narrative is handled with a gentle reassurance that guides without being overly prescriptive. It's a worthwhile read, rich with insights and emotional depth.

You Are Not Alone
I thought David Clark’s story was a deeply moving and faith-affirming exploration of resilience in the face of immense suffering, enduring life-altering injuries during his service in Iraq. Instead of succumbing to despair, he turned to his faith in Jesus Christ, using his experiences to inspire others through his writing. Clark’s story reminds me of the biblical account of Job—a man tested by adversity yet unwavering in his trust in God. His story is raw, authentic, and filled with hard-earned wisdom that speaks directly to those who have faced trials of their own. Anyone searching for encouragement amid hardship will find solace in Clark’s words, as he offers not just theological insights but lived experience of God’s sustaining grace. This is a must-read for anyone seeking reassurance that they are not alone.

A wonderful collection of experiences
This book was a well of hopeful and meaningful moments in the authors' life where he learned to have a close and personal connection with God. These times brought him peace like no other. It was in those dire times where he learned to call upon the name of the lord, learning to be content with Gods control of the situation, however that appeared. I really enjoyed this book, so inspiring. I highly recommend this one.. I would be especially a great gift for a friend who might be feeling down on their luck or lacking that connection with God.

What a story!
David’s story here is nothing short of amazing. Through unimaginable adversity, he has learned so much about Jesus. And because of that, I have learned so much about Jesus by reading his book. It was only when David was bedridden that he really started to understand that Christ wasn’t asking him to share his burdens with Him in the sense that we each carried part of the load. It’s about giving Christ our burdens entirely. It’s also about connecting daily. This makes every adversity possible to bear. Everyone should read this book!

A powerful reading.
As someone who’s walked through grief and questioned everything, I found the author's honesty refreshing and his faith inspiring. This isn’t a quick-fix book. It’s not about getting your old life back; it’s about finding new purpose with Christ right where you are. And that shift in mindset is everything. It’s the kind of book I’ll be giving to friends who are hurting.
