I Almost Died Ya Know | a Covid story

"He has a remarkable way of drawing out profound spiritual lessons from his circumstances, and how he recounts the near-death experience he endured is no exception. With a free-flowing style, Shane captivates as he instructs, humbles as he comforts, and inspires as he narrates. With every chance he gets, Shane points us to the grace of God in Jesus. This book is well worth the read and re-read.”

“His words will make you laugh, bring you to tears, and ultimately draw your heart to the Savior who brings hope when all seems hopeless. This book is a must-read for anyone walking alongside those who are suffering, who is in need of light in a dark world, or who is in need of assurance in a world gone mad.”

“He doesn’t shy away from anything but authentically shares the good, the bad, and the ugly. His narrative voice is so distinctive that it feels like you’re hearing the story right from his own lips as he takes you through the valley of the shadow of death and out the other side—battered and bruised, yes, but with an unshakable faith that is all the more beautiful from the crucible that formed it.”

“Not only does he pull back the curtain and reveal with vulnerability what life was like as he traversed his very own Valley of the Shadow of Death, but he also offers encouraging and challenging reminders throughout of what it looks like to see one’s suffering through the lens of faith. This is a powerful story of pain, perseverance, and providence, and will serve as a tremendous encouragement for those who are themselves trying to make sense of the inexplicable.”

“Covid. It happened. But for some, it wasn’t merely an occurrence that came and went, but rather an on-ramp into the “Dark Night of the Soul,” bringing life as one might have known it to a screeching halt. This was certainly the case for Shane, and you will soon discover that he writes with candor and clarity. Not only does he pull back the curtain and reveal with vulnerability what life was like as he traversed his very own Valley of the Shadow of Death, but he also offers encouraging and challenging reminders throughout of what it looks like to see one’s suffering through the lens of faith. This is a powerful story of pain, perseverance, and providence, and will serve as a tremendous encouragement for those who are themselves trying to make sense of the inexplicable.”
