"The telling of a personal story can be one of the most challenging of all subjects. Not only is the author aware of every factual detail, but the emotions and interactions with family and friends are all too present. An additional hurdle is to maintain the focus of the story while giving a complete account of the moment.
Author Bart Dahmer has accomplished all of this and so much more. He tells a gripping medical story that reads like a dramatic saga and yet keeps his stated focus of giving complete glory to Jesus Christ, the Great Physician, and Author and Finisher of our faith. Not only is the book an amazing story, it is also a faith-building exercise to read. You will be blessed by reading it, but even more, you will have your own faith challenged and strengthened."
A rare book, indeed!
Dr. Ann Coffee, MD, FAAFP, FACEP
“Held Between Breath and Death is compelling. It explores how physical, mental, and spiritual health are so intrinsically intertwined.
Bart invites readers to reconsider the remarkable qualities that make us human and to reflect on our place in this world. The scientific expertise blends well with Bart’s wry humor.
Without excess sentimentality, Bart challenges and inspires us with an important question: How can we grow and change without condemning?
An extraordinary man . . .
an extraordinary journey.”
Dr. Charles Fowler, PhD, President, Carson-Newman University
"This book invites readers into that sacred space, where the Dahmer family encoun-tered God in real and transformative ways. It offers a compelling glimpse of His hand at work through Bart Dahmer’s suffering—revealing His power and faithfulness in deeply personal ways. I was left in awe of God’s grace, so evident in Bart’s most difficult season.
If you want a front-row view of God’s intervention in suffering, this book is for you. Like me, I believe your response will be worship. You will grow in your understanding of God’s goodness, His purposes in suffering, and His love—even when life feels fragile.
This story calls us to seek God in hard places and trust Him when life feels beyond our control."
Death took my breath away, but God gave it back. And I am compelled to tell everyone about the medical professionals who fought for me, and about my God who made the impossible possible and who offers reconciliation to everyone through His Son, Jesus Christ, so that our sins will not be counted against us.
-Bart Dahmer
