About this listen
A two-week vacation to the Florida Keys meant Mary and Jameson Sr. could share the beauty of their favorite turquoise-blue waters with their four children. On that serene day at Looe Key Reef, their oldest, ten-year-old Jameson Jr., was swimming among the marine life, capturing breathtaking footage of a sea turtle when a massive bull shark attacked.
Nine miles from shore and even farther from a hospital, their son weakening, the Reeders prayed for help—and it came through a miraculous chain of events.
Rescue at the Reef is the true story of a young boy who defied death with an unshakable faith in the power of Jesus to save him. Even in immense suffering, he focused on caring for those around him, so much that it surprised even hospital staff. His unshakeable peace made an impact on patients and visitors, and his story quickly spread, drawing the attention of strangers and the media.
With reflections on faith, suffering, and the hidden gifts that often go unnoticed, Rescue at the Reef is a living reminder that with God, even the most fearsome challenges can be faced—and conquered. This unforgettable story will leave you on the edge of your seat, inspired by the ripple effects of hope that overcome impossible odds.

"Jameson and Mary Reeder went through one of the most traumatic moments that any parents could be presented with… Their spectacular book Rescue at the Reef chronicles the miracles that took place along the way to help save their son’s life. This is a story of love, faith and overcoming every obstacle in your way. I loved this book!"—Bob Babbitt, Co-Founder Challenged Athletes Foundation, Co-Founder Competitor Magazine, Inductee into both the USA Triathlon and Ironman Hall of Fame
“I have known and loved the Reeder family for decades. This is the true and amazing story of what God can still do with the faith of a small boy. Faith didn’t bring their victory….Faith is their victory. Read it…and reap!”—O.S. Hawkins PhD, Author of the Code Series of Devotionals, Former Pastor, First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas

It’s a must-read for anyone seeking inspiration."—Vernon Rainwater, Chief of Staff, Full Sail University
"Jameson Jr.’s story of fortitude, perseverance, and most importantly hope has been one of the most inspirational narratives that I’ve had the honor of helping tell. We can all learn a lot from JJ’s energy and perspective."—Lauren Gardner, MLB Network Host
it's refreshing to hear of a Christian family with Christian values whose faith is strengthened in the face of fear and adversity.
the only thing id say as a critique (for those wanting to know) is that there's a few repetitive points, and some that didn't seem overtly relative to the main point [of survival after a shark attack]. it was still interesting to hear some back story to how the parents met, and it does tie back to their Christian faith.
ultimately read/listen to it. its not overly long and it is faith affirming.
if you're not Christian, or you're worried that it'll be force fed to you, relax, it won't be.
with that said,
God bless the family, and you
