Two and a half years ago, a plane went down in a Texas pasture. On board were five men: the lead pastor, the executive pastor, an elder, and two faithful members of Harvest Church near Memphis, Tennessee.

Four of the men were killed instantly; experts later determined the chances of survival were zero percent. But one of the men—lead pastor Kennon Vaughan—lived.

This is his story. But this is also the story of what happens when a church of disciple-makers walks through their darkest hours together. And this is the story of what God can do when lives—and deaths—are surrendered to him.
