Times of Perseverance: Hope and Healing on the Battlefields of Life is a phenomenological narrative chronicling a Jewish man’s tenacious survival from personal and family Traumatic Brain Injury, while capturing a transparent glimpse into the soul of a wounded man. His brother’s severe Traumatic Brain Injury reveals that God leads a person to himself in times of tragedy. Moreover, his near death experience which was a result of human error teaches about God’s forgiveness from Scripture. This is not only a story of a Jewish man coming to faith in Jesus Christ and his theological progression to becoming a Messianic Jew. Rather, it encapsulates a genuine, longitudinal account of overcoming life adversity and grief while providing hope, encouragement, and inspiration to the wounded of society. Gregg’s experiential account of loss from the coronavirus breathes comfort into the wearied soul contemplating meaning to life in this twenty-first-century postmodern era. Hence this poignant story inspires the reader to acquire life purpose and experience restoration on their battlefields of life.
