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: 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 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 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."
