Hope Unseen: The Story of the U.S. Army's First Blind Active-Duty Officer
of Scotty Smiley, Doug Crandall
Description
Hope Unseen challenges readers to question their doubts, not their beliefs, and depend upon God no matter whatâthe inspiring true story of âblindâ faith.A nervous glance from a man in a parked car. Muted instincts from a soldier on patrol. Violent destruction followed by total darkness. Two weeks later, Scotty Smiley woke up in Walter Reed Army Medical Center, helpless . . . and blind. Â Blindness became Scottyâs journey of supreme testing. As he lay helpless in the hospital, Captain Smiley resented the theft of his dreamsâbecoming a CEO, a Delta Force operator, or a four-star general. With his wife Tiffanyâs love and the support of his family and friends, Scotty was transformedâthe injury only intensifying his indomitable spirit. Since the moment he jumped out of a hospital bed and forced his way through nurses and cords to take a simple shower, Captain Scotty Smiley has climbed Mount Rainier, won an ESPY as Best Outdoor Athlete, surfed, skydived, become a father, earned an MBA from Duke, taught leadership at West Point, commanded an army company, and won the MacArthur Leadership Award. Scotty and Tiffany Smiley have lived out a faith so real that it will inspire you to question your own doubts, push you to serve something bigger than yourself, and encourage you to cling to a Hope Unseen.
