Blindness became Captain Scotty Smiley�s journey of supreme testing. As he lay helpless in the hospital, he resented the theft of his dreams�becoming a CEO, a Delta Force operator, or a four-star general. With his wife Tiffany�s love and the support of his family and friends, Scotty�s response became God�s transforming moment. The injury only intensified his indomitable spirit. Since the moment he jumped out of a hospital bed and forced his way through nurses and cords to take a simple shower, Captain Scotty Smiley has climbed Mount Rainier, won an ESPY as Best Outdoor Athlete, surfed, skydived, become a father, earned an MBA from Duke, taught leadership at West Point, commanded an army company, and won the MacArthur Leadership Award. Scotty and Tiffany Smiley have lived out a faith so real that it will inspire you to question your own doubts, push you to serve something bigger than yourself, and encourage you to cling to a Hope Unseen.
