One Step Closer<br />
Ryan Atkins ’07<br />
As a thriving college student in 2009, Ryan<br />
Atkins had his sights set on future business<br />
success. After a freak car accident left him<br />
paralyzed below the shoulders, he found<br />
himself struggling to grasp just how fundamentally<br />
his life had changed.<br />
In this unflinchingly honest account, Ryan<br />
takes you along his journey of coming to<br />
terms with his physical limitations, redefining<br />
success, falling in love, believing for a healing<br />
that seemed all but inevitable, and ultimately<br />
learning to trust the purpose in suffering.<br />
If you have ever watched your<br />
dreams crumble before your<br />
eyes, endured prolonged pain<br />
and disappointment in your<br />
life, or wondered if there is<br />
more to life than what you are<br />
living, Ryan’s story may be just<br />
what you need to discover<br />
what matters most—in this life<br />
and the next.<br />
