About this listen

When a tragic drowning accident leaves 15-year-old Jacob in a coma, the faith of his family and community is shaken. Medical experts used phrases like persistent vegetative state and said Jacob would never wake up. Without sugar-coating the realities of pain and suffering, Parting the Waters presents the heart-warming, true story of what can happen when a community rallies around one wounded family. While Jacob's parents struggle to preserve their faith and family, the prayers and innovative efforts of community members result in Jacob's gradual awakening. Each dramatic milestone in Jacob's recovery creates a new ripple, touching and changing many lives forever.

I knew George, Jeanne, and Jacob before the accounts in this book, back when we all lived in the college town of Nacogdoches. They moved off to Marshall, while I later moved away to Cleveland, Ohio. I had heard of Jacob's near drowning and a little about his recovery, but all second and third hand. Until reading this book (listening to the audio), I had no idea of all the heartaches, difficulties, and answered prayers that had happened to and for them. This story does not answer why God let one boy die while letting Jacob survive. Some things we just won't know on this side of eternity. But one sees in this story that God is good, faithful, caring, patient, and kind. He uses the painful and sometimes excruciating tragic things in life to miraculously bring ultimate good to His children, followers of Christ, and to glorify His own name. May we all persevere in our hope in God as the Damoff's did, to hear in the end "Well done, my good and faithful child."

Very moving and Uplifting

Wonderful, faith-filled, beautiful true story. My family was near when this happened and we prayed for Jacob. God has shown Himself through Jacob's life. Highest recommendation!
