Title: Back From Heaven’s Front Porch
“At 3:55pm on July 28th, I believed there was a Heaven – at 4:15 I knew” What an amazing introduction to Danny Bader’s Back From Heaven’s Front Porch. In this 235 page book Danny Bader introduces us to a remarkable principal that we can ALL learn from, it is called Jackrabbit. This five step principal will change not only the way you see many things today but it will also evolve and transform your present life as you know it.
How is it that we can make that claim? When we first got a copy of Back From Heaven’s Front Porch. We were told that once we started reading it, we would not be able to put it down. That my friends is the truth. The way Danny has set this book up , the fact that it is based on his personal experience, and that the characters in this book represent people that helped him strive through his adversities keeps you glued to this book. Danny’s principal “Jackrabbit” has five sections each that can help you make remarkable changes today for you to create a better tomorrow.
In the inner circle has the double sided arrow representing both vision and action. The outer circle does in what ever way you wish. Start where you feel you need the most work Danny has advised mw during the many conversation we have had. Then there is Evolve, to grow / Be Still, this one will hit most people very close to home / Know Thyself, do you really know yourself? Really know who you are what makes you tick? / Seek Support, we have all heard it before “You can’t do it alone”.
The mix of these five principals, the characters Danny has created, and going into Jake’s life is a combination that most books will never achieve. The story shares the life of Jake after an accident most of us would believe only to be made up and his journey to NOW. Through his journey he meets some amazing people all of which teach Jake a different principal inside the Jackrabbit concept.
This must read book will inspire, energize, captivate, and refresh you and your soul. You owe it to yourself to read Back From Heaven’s Front Porch.
Chapter 1: Why Did I Come Back
(I was sure, you see, that God got it wrong. That it was me who was supposed to die that day. And it wasn’t “we” who killed Brian. It was just me.)
Chapter 2: Rock Bottom Is A Hell Of A Place
(I kept replaying the accident in my mind, and the sense of inadequacy that had been brewing inside me for years got even worse.)
chapter 3: Run
(Right now, it was leading me to the outer banks of North Carolina, a journey I didn’t really expect to return from.)
Chapter 4: Date With A Graden Hose
(I sized them up, thinking about how much smaller the diameter was than that of the car’s exhaust pipe. Maybe duct tape would hold it in place?)
Chapter 5: Open To Where It May Lead
(Grinning I looked up at an approaching wave and gasped jumping back. A bald head emerged from the foaming white water, followed by a wrinkled face and glistening grey-haired chest.)
Chapter 6: Direction
(Hmm, makes sense, but how do I figure out where I ant to go…Where I want to be?)
Chapter 7: Homecoming
(After a few more stops, and about 350 miles of highway, farms, cows, and factories, I pulled into my parents driveway and climbed from my truck.)
Chapter 8: Lauren
(we hugged like we were hugging for the first time. It felt good to hold her-if even awkwardly-and smell the familiar scent of her hair.)
Chapter 9: A Momentary Lapse Of Reason
(A soul in tension that’s learning to fly. Condition grounded but determined to try)
Chapter 10: Population 4,700
(My mind replayed the accident over and over again, my internal chatter increasing…Why am I here? What am I looking for? This is crazy!)
Chapter 11: Vision Vs Reality
(Jake there’s a strong connection between what we get out of our lives, what we create, and what we focus on-some people call it the focus we hold.)
Chapter 12: Jackrabbit
(Think about this Jake. You have the opportunity-the choice, today, and every day-to create our own reality and emotions, rather than letting someone else create it for you.)
Chapter 13: Be Still
(She lowered herself in one fluid motion to sit cross legged on the floor next to me. “so how are you?”)
Chapter 14: Sammy’s Story
(Sammy leaned back in the car seat, closing her eyes as her mind drifted back to the past. I can remember it as clearly as if I were still sitting there”.)
Chapter 15: Confession
(I sat there thinking of all the things Brian’s kids could no longer be doing with their Dad. “I’ve thought about the day of the accident a lot, but I am still not quite sure how it happened.”)
Chapter 16: Change Of Plans
(My success, I mean our success as a company-and I’m continually humbled by it-is very dependent on our ability to make people feel appreciated.)
Chapter 17: An Uncomfortable Night
(Tears came as I tried to run away from the pain caused from telling the story to sammy a few hours earlier.)
Chapter 18: Being Still With Myself
(Try slowing down Vanessa said. I closed my eyes, though it felt a bit weird to close them deliberately so soon after waking.)
Chapter 19: Getting Unstuck
(I swallowed, and then went on. “I had a dream last night that I ran a hose from my truck’s tailpipe into my room and went for a long, long sleep.)
Chapter 20: Chillaxin
(I remembered from all the books my mom read to me that Tigger was always happy and having a good time-all the time. I wanted to be like that, to be happy all the time.)
Chapter 21: Anything But Alone
(Oh no! You’ve got to be kidding me. Preacher? What the hell’s he doing here at six in the morning?)
Chapter 22: Moving On
(Please God, help me out here. I feel like I’m moving in the right direction, then i talk with Lauren and I feel like I am still stuck.)
Chapter 23: The End Of The Beginning
(I spent the rest of the day walking, praying and thinking, mostly praying. I did have some beers, but only two.)
Epilogue From The Author
(The story of Jake is a work of fiction-but fiction inspired by some very real-life events. It was me who experienced the near-electrocution, me who stood on the Front Porch Of Heaven, me who tried to save my dying friend, me who struggled for years (not months, as Jake did) to make sense of it all.)
Back From Heavens Front Porch will take you deep into thought as you travel with Jake (AKA Danny) through his trials and tribulations that life threw his way. Danny’s inspiring life, family, and the pure Joy he lives by today are a key result of Jackrabbit. If Danny being where he was can overcome these emotions and inner thoughts, do you not believe that the world of opportunities are endless for everyone. We hear stories about people that encounter massive obstacles in life, massive adversities and we hear their success stories. To know someone in that league is a great pleasure and privilege. I am honoured to know Danny and honoured to share his story with you today.
The five principals of Danny Bader’s Jackrabbit are timeless and will go on to change the lives of millions of people all over the world. Back From Heaven’s Front Porch is one way you can have those principals today!
