Overview

"Standing Still In a Culture of Mass Shootings brings us face-to-face with Monday, 16 September 2013 when Jennifer was severely wounded during the Navy Yard Shooting. Emergency physicians, who treated her extensive wounds immediately after her evacuation from the Navy Yard roof via helicopter, called her survival ""a miracle."" Jennifer sustained a point-blank shotgun blast, yet by the grace of God, she survived. Her book details her harrowing experience, but also the heroism and dedication exhibited by many men and women who helped save her life. To explain how she came to be the warrior she is today, Jennifer provides an entertaining and often humourous sketch, explaining what it was like to grow up in America from the 1950s to the 1970s. She also explains why and how Americans can once again embrace God. More than a story of survival, this is a story of faith, of healing and of triumph. Her experiences were chronicled in the Washington Post on 6 September 2014 and in the October 2017 SHOWTIME documentary, ""Active Shooter: America Under Fire."""

After being shot and very seriously wounded, Jen showed with her incredible determination, grit and amazingly, humor that she is a true hero. Ray Mabus, Secretary of the Navy, 2009-2017 Within these pages you will find stoicism, resilience, and love of her family and friends that are a large part of her Xena Warrior Spirit, her faith and her sense of humor. Charlie Hamilton, Rear Admiral, US Navy, Retired Books can change us and inspire us to greatness. Jennifer's witness to being All In is an inspiration to me, and will be to you as well. Mark Batterson, New York Times best selling author of The Circle Maker Lead Pastor of National Community Church In times of crisis and adversity we get to see who people really are. Their character and values are revealed in how they respond. As a member of The Rooftop Gang, I witnessed this first hand. Jennifer's incredible experience is a shining example of faith and perseverance. Chip Zawislak The most impressive thing about Jennifer's story is how she faced the unexpected events and trials as if she had prepared her entire life for that moment. And that is the powerful message - if we allow God in our life and seek him, he may use us in ways we never imagined - not only to act courageously in the heat of the moment but to glorify him through that moment and for years to come. Bryan Moser, Men's Ministry Leader, Christian Fellowship Church Jennifer Bennett owns her destiny and duty to convey the message regarding mental health and resiliency. Understanding her faith and humanity; actually 'seeing' the person; and owning her part in this global discussion has made her a true survivor and a force to be reckoned with. Having Jen in our lives is an amazing gift and blessing. Robert MacLean
