All of us learn to face death in one way or another, but only a rare few of us learn to fully embrace living once we realize the time we have on this earth is limited.

It was two weeks after his surgery, while still in the critical care unit, that the doctors discovered Jeff suffered a stroke on his optic nerve during surgery and would be left in darkness forever--completely blind.

Blind Awakening is the true story about how Jeff Longley went into surgery as a bitter, anxious, negative person and came out seeing as he’d never seen before. Humor, honesty and courage are the key elements to his extraordinary journey. But it was his sister's dedication and their ever-growing faith in Jesus that allowed them both to see the Light through the darkness.  

This book will remind each of us that life is not measured by the days we are alive, but rather by the days we truly live.
