The Book

This is a true story of my son, Corbin Carpenter, and his miraculous recovery from traumatic bull riding injury while riding at the 2008 National High School Finals Rodeo in Farmington, NM. The injury caused immediated and total paralysis from his chest down. Corbin's faith in God's healing power along with the determination God instilled in him brought Corbin from a life in a wheelchair to riding his horses and roping cattle again less than seven months after his injury.

The struggles and set backs that ocurred along his road to recovery was only a stepping stone to how Corbin is using this life changing event to help change the world, one testimony at a time.

"... There are few instances... in life that have the capability of stopping you in your tracks... Corbin Carpenter made that happen... Corbin Carpenter, you are my hero."
