Publisher's summary

Are you struggling with adversity and unsure of how to move forward? Do you feel like you're constantly fighting a losing battle? When we hear the word combat, we often think of war zones and the brave men and women who put their lives on the line to defend our freedoms. But combat is not just limited to the battlefield. We face battles in our everyday lives, whether it's financial struggles, health issues, or the loss of a loved one. And just like in war, these battles can leave us wounded, both physically and emotionally.

We want certainty and everything to go according to plan, but life rarely follows a straight path. Adversity can often catch you by surprise and leave you struggling with what to do next. Yet how many of us know how to overcome life's battles of adversity? What would you do if a situation in your life left you feeling defeated, discouraged, and confused? How do you prevent your life from spiraling out of control when you encounter traumatic events that threaten your safety, career, emotions, health, or relationships?

One part inspiration, one part practical advice, and one part story about overcoming real-life challenges, this book gives you insight into the challenges Sylvester has faced but also the courage and spirit to rise above them. He passionately shares glimpses of his journey staying grounded in the face of rejection, broken dreams, criticism, depression, and other intense hardships. This book is an inspiring story that will empower you to connect to your own inner strength and encourage you not only to survive but to thrive. If you’re a person who has ever experienced a devastating, life-altering event, then this book is your guide to overcoming it.

Awesome from beginning to end

This was an awesome book written by Sylvester Jenkins. Love his transparency in sharing some if his most trying moments in his life and how he over came them. The fact the book gives you tools to help you become a better version of yourself did it for me.

Powerful and Inspiring

Appreciated the author’s personal story of love, loss and resilience. Sharing the lessons learned and how others can use the lessons and suggestions to fuel optimism and self belief in rising above life circumstances to a place of thriving. Good book for anyone, as a reminder, or for those who need inspiration to keep pressing forward.

A look into what resilience looks like.

Open. Honest. Real. 3 words that can be used to describe what it is like as Sylvester's words resonate within your heart. This is an amazing look into what honesty looks like and spilled across the pages. I was floored at how honest a military member could be while welcoming us on his healing story. This was a very easy listen and I did it in one setting while working. Thank you for a real look at adversity and healing.

Amazing and Motivating

“From Combat to Comeback” is truly an amazing and motivating book. It’s filled with so many gems that I’m sure will help people of all ages. My favorite is “3 types of people”; Potato, Egg & Coffee Bean….love that analogy!

I’ve read the book and now with it being available as an audiobook I can listen as I’m driving and/or working.

Thank you for sharing your story and for all that you’ve done and will continue to do!!!

Take Notes!

Insight to valuable information. Resiliency is hard earned and it's a skill that not everybody has or understands. If you've found yourself wondering "how can I possibly overcome this and better myself?" at any point in life....listen to/read this, and take notes...seriously.
