À propos de cet audio
Jon Sadler was four when he had his first seizure following an episode of high fever. That made him the object of constant concern to his family and dictated almost every decision he made. With medication, Jon was deemed seizure-free for several years, though his speech was permanently affected.
After a college sailing accident, he had his first grand mal seizure (loss of consciousness and violent muscle contractions). He continued sailing despite the dangers and graduated from university with an engineering degree. He later found employment with the navy and then a position with the Army Corps of Engineers.
As he grew older, his ability to deal with seizures weakened, leading to radical brain surgery. In 2010, after informally counseling a man whose child had epilepsy, he approached a turning point in his life. He became a licensed graduate professional counselor and now works as a mentor/ advocate for the Epilepsy Foundation.
This book is his story of trial and the triumph of hope over fear and how overcoming even the greatest of challenges is possible through faith.
