Adventures in trusting God, even through life's earthquakes
I just found out that two shows taped about my Hiati earthquake survival experience will both air this weekend.
On Saturday night (June 4), the National Geographic Channel will air a show called “Witness: Caught by Disaster,” featuring my story among others, and on Sunday I will be featured on the Biography Channel’s “I Survived.”

I’m greatly burdened for Japan today. Rescue efforts are still underway (my rescuers, VA Task Force 1, are among the rescue teams involved), and casualty estimates are rising. From what I’ve seen, I’d be surprised if casualties end up less than 10,000.

On January 7, 2011, I was included in a show about survival stories on Anderson Cooper 360. This has been one of my favorite media opportunities for Unshaken, as it was more lighthearted than some and I got to “meet” Anderson Cooper and Bear Grylls. I was disappointed that CNN did not choose […]

“I cannot recommend this book more. It stirred my heart in so many ways, as Dan shares deeply personal details of his marriage and faith. It made me question my own life-what would I do in the situation? Where does my trust lie?”
“I predict anyone who begins reading this book will choose to be trapped to the end. …a fascinating and inspiring testimony.”
“Unshaken is for anyone who loves a good suspenseful story and for anyone swallowed by darkness today or walking someone else through theirs. For anyone halfway living, in need of resurrection from the doldrums of dutiful religion and dispassionate relationships. For anyone seeking inspiration and evidence that God is unshaken by all that shakes us.”
