5.0 out of 5 stars Nothing arrogant, but humble, August 25, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Chosen to Live (Hardcover)

To disagree with the reader who called this author's work arrogance, I read it. I found him to be very humble. As a rescue worker who has suffered from post trauma stress, I can relate to an extant to what he went through emotionally. I think it's an excellent book, very well written. And to the self-proclaimed agnostic survivor, maybe you need to work out some of your own problems with your ordeal before you accuse others of being arrogant.

5.0 out of 5 stars God was the co-pilot on Flight 232, November 17, 1999

This review is from: Chosen to Live (Hardcover)

Jerry is a seemingly ordinary man sharing his raw honest account of a tragedy unfolding and its even more important aftermath. Though his gifts lie not in writing, they are clearly evident in much worthier traits as integrity, honesty and humility. I was reminded while reading this book that when God has a plan He will use Christians and non-Christians alike to carry it through. Jerry's account was so vivid that I actually found myself emotionally drained after each sitting-but equally I found myself encouraged by all the things that went right. There were many miracles that can be easily overlooked when focused on the tragedy itself. The secret things belong to Me and I will reveal the things I want you to know. Deut. 29:29 Chosen to Live is a beautiful book.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a great book!, September 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Chosen to Live (Hardcover)

Wow! My mom recommended this book for me to read, and i'm glad she did. Being from Topeka it somewhat touched home knowing something like that can happen to anyone. I enjoyed every aspect from the biography of Mr. Schemmel's life to the detailed accounts of the crash. I give this book 5 stars. Very well written!
