After spending seven years as a POW in the communist prisons of
North Vietnam, the only hope was to think Beyond Survival. When
life loses its meaning, when suddenly the world is turned upside
down, when there's nothing left that resembles life as we've known
it, where do we find the strength and sustenance to go on? For
naval aviator Jerry Coffee and others who were held as prisoners of
war in North Vietnam, there was only one choice: to go within.
Beyond Survival is a journey into the invincible human spirit that
unites heart and mind in a compelling and unforgettable experience.
Drawing from his seven years as a POW, Captain Coffee provides
timeless lessons that apply to the physical, emotional, and ethical
challenges of everyday life. Proving that leadership and creativity
are possible in difficult and uncertain circumstances, Captain
Coffee offers a message we can draw on in any trying situation. His
story demonstrates that conviction must come from within, and in
telling that story he touches the place inside of us where growth
begins. Beyond Survival is a positive statement about love and
commitment in the midst of war and division. It contrasts the cold
reality of war, degradation, and torture with the warmth of human
connections, inner serenity, and kinship with all of life. It
poignantly illustrates that to be stripped of everything that is
familiar and by which we identify ourselves leaves us with only
what unites us - our human identity. It conveys truths about
relationships at every level - with ourselves, with others, with
our country, and with our God. Without inflaming the wounds
inflicted by America's involvement in Vietnam, Beyond Survival
explores an issue at the heart of every free society: the
willingness of ordinary individuals to maintain a passion for
freedom so compelling that adversity strengthens rather than
weakens personal resolve in the worst of circumstances. Through
Gerald Coffee's story you will discover the universal principles of
survival and triumph that empower anyone to overcome adversity.
