Saved

One Trauma Surgeon's True Accounts of the Miracles in His Life

De: Craig Thayer

Narrado por: Craig Thayer

Craig Thayer’s destiny was mapped before he was even born. Saved is the story of a man who learned to see the sum of his parts and follow them like stepping stones throughout a miraculous life. Being put up for adoption at birth and finding his family at nine months was just the start of his unorthodox journey.

Over the years, the adversity kept finding him. Craig battled a reading disorder that went undiagnosed until he was 55-years-old. Despite that and numerous other challenges, the calling in his heart to become a surgeon grew louder and louder. It didn’t quiet when he suffered a twisted intestine, witnessed his adopted mother’s alcohol problem, grieved her death when he was just 18, healed from a skull fracture in college, agonized over his adopted father’s fight for his life, and struggled to find his self-esteem. The miracles that touched his life were his saving grace and shined a light on his purpose.

The miracle of his apartment catching fire and the items left intact reflected the undeniable presence of one of his guardian spirits. The miracles on his mission trips to Haiti and Honduras taught him more about Heaven on Earth than anything he had ever experienced. The miracle of finding his natural family snapped a missing puzzle piece into place—fulfilling a lifelong longing. Even the lists of pranks he pulled in college reminded him of the miracles of the bonds of laughter.

Craig’s intent in sharing his story is to give you hope, inspiration, a sense of belonging, and empathy, showing you how similar a surgeon’s life is to yours. We are all more alike than we know.
