Down the Mountain™
SKIING, SUFFERING, AND SUFFICIENT GRACE
After a catastrophic ski accident left him permanently paralyzed from the waist down, Jason not only had to re-learn basic tasks like dressing and bathing, but also had to wrestle with the harder questions: why do bad things happen? If God is good and powerful, why does he allow suffering? And how does one cope with suffering, which in one way or another visits us all?
With anecdotes, humor and stories from the Bible, Jason tells the story of his accident and recovery while tackling these questions and more. Ultimately Jason believes that on the other side of suffering there is joy, on the other side of fear there is freedom, and that only God offers sufficient grace to understand and cope with our pain.

Reviews for Down the Mountain™
"God is the author and perfecter of our faith, and He and Jason have been authoring this story since long before Jason hit the slopes for the first time. Jason shows us firsthand that worship can happen in the space where the pen meets the page, where the skis hit the slopes, and where the broken heart cries out hallelujah."
Tricia Lott Williford · New York Times Bestselling Author · Author of And Life Comes Back and A Patriot's Promise
"The story of what happened to Jason on the mountain that day and his family’s journey since then is a testimony to God’s amazing grace and love in the midst of even the most difficult circumstances. In Down the Mountain, we see Jason and Amy living out the truth of Romans 8:28: 'For God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose.'"
