Our guest is author, speaker and a
true inspiration Jason Deierlein. At age 16
popular swimming star Jason was in a horrible car
accident and in a coma facing some of life toughest
challenges to survive and life a normal life. We bring
you Jason & his story about the book "Return From A
Comatose Mind".
RETURN FROM A COMATOSE MIND
In lean, evocative prose, Deierlein describes what it
feels like not to be able to see or speak or move. His
dreams while in the coma were rich and strange,
sometimes of swimming sometimes of bright vivid imagery.
Jason mentally teetered on the edge of the razor thin
line separating life and death until his miraculous
awakening. Return From A Comatose Mind chronicles Jason
experiences while in a coma and his long road to
recovery. Deierlein doesn’t just describe the event, he
asks – and attempts to answer – the important questions
that will resonate with every reader. How do you live
after a terrible accident? How do you find the strength
to go through recovery? Deierlein was sustained by
trusting in God, and the realization that God helps
those who help themselves. He also began to appreciate
all that he had and to realize that many other people
had so much less. A beautifully written account of what
it’s like to be in a coma and an inspiring and
thoughtful examination of how one man overcame his
misfortune. Return From A Comatose Mind is a journey
through the soul and a must read for any student of the
human condition.
Jason Deierlein’s account of his
return from a tragic car accident has one clear message:
Be grateful for what you have. The author was a star
athlete and a good student, but one poor decision put
him on the wrong end of an eighteen wheeler, and in a
coma for seven weeks. The dreams he remembers from his
coma, coupled with his very thought-provoking
conclusions about those dreams, all point towards
appreciating what you have been given. While not as
polished as something from a professional writer, the
story is clearly and honestly told, and can be an
inspiration to anyone recovering from serious disease or
injury. Hats off to the author for having the strength
to share his story.
