As a lifelong believer in the teachings of Jesus, the author was trained to always know there was a greater power in the universe and that even when it seemed like he was alone, he was never alone. Even when things were at their darkest and most difficult, victory was just over the horizon, merely requiring a small amount of faith and belief to persevere to reach the other side. He holds a degree in psychology, a certification in lay ministry, a certification in health and fitness, and has competed in many triathlons and marathons. Even after suffering a traumatic brain injury that doctors said would leave him either dead or paralyzed for the rest of his life, confined to a wheelchair and living in a nursing home unable to care for himself, he persevered. He became a male mentor to many young people in his area and ran a successful tennis and basketball training business. He has the unique voice of someone who was counted out and beaten down but while on his back decided that rather than giving in and giving up, he would lean on the training he grew up with—relying on God and His promises to never leave him nor forsake him. He decided to get up and persevere, never giving up and never quitting no matter how many obstacles and adversities he faced. His mind was set on the answer not the problem, all the while knowing that God was the answer to any problem.view less
