Product Description
It was a cold but sunny day in January 1995 when Mike Couillard, a Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Air Force on assignment in Ankara, Turkey, took his son Matthew skiing. The view of the 7,300-foot-high Kfartalkaya Mountain was breathtaking--magnificent peaks against a bright blue sky, wisps of clouds--nothing threatening. They headed for the T-bar that would take them to the summit.It was about 2:30 when they reached the top, and although it had started to snow, they still had time to ski. Mike made note of his surroundings and decided to use the overhead line of the lift as a guide. They kept the line in sight as they glided downward, but moment by moment, the snow's intensity increased. Ice pellets stung their faces. Visibility decreased. Hidden rocks sent them plunging into the snow. Dense stands of pine trees loomed in front of them, forcing them to go right, then left, and off the trail. Desperately, they looked for the lift line-- or anything familiar. They saw nothing but white. They were lost...

Wow...This book was amazing. When I entered the library I first picked this book up with reluctance. I'm of a rather un-religious nature, and I feared from the title that this might be a preachy book. However, in need of something to read, I checked it out anyway. Let me just say: wow. This story greatly displayed faith and survival in a way that touched the heart and kept my interest. It wonderfuly integrated religious teachings and a great story, one that really did make me think. I wish the best to the Couillard's in the future and reccomend this book to anyone who need proof that the impossible can be overcome if you keep trying and keep faith in yourself and others.

This book was cool and pretty accurate. It might make you cry though, I did. Definately worth reading. written by mel (matt's girlfriend)
Wow! March 1, 1999
Anyone who has a child knows the agony Mike Couillard faced as he made decisions in that mountain cave. One thing that I really got from this book is the power of prayer. Mike and his wife depended not just on a quickie prayer, but a true reliance on God's power. I couldn't put the book down as I envisioned myself on that mountain with my daughter. Anyone who enjoys a good survival story will be captivated by this book.

My family and I have been friends with the Couillards since 1983. We were part of the worldwide prayer chain who were praying for Mike and Matthews safe return. It was amazing to read the story of how God sustained Mike, Matthew and their entire family thru this ordeal. I encourage everyone to read this book. If you already believe, it will reconfirm that God does answer prayers and if you don't yet believe it will provide testimony that He is firmly in control of ALL circumstances.
