On The Table Read Magazine, “the best book magazine in the UK“, in Finding Faith In The Field, Benjamin Duane Hylden shares his journey to faith after a car crash left him with a 5% chance of survival.
Finding Faith In The Field
On a cold Good Friday in April, 16-year-old Benjamin Duane Hylden was running late for an appointment, and figured he could make good time by taking the back road where he would often push his aging Buick Le Sabre to its limits. The combination of speed and half-frozen roadway proved to be an almost deadly combination, and Hylden would never be the same young man again.
In his powerful true story, Finding Faith In The Field, Benjamin Duane Hylden describes the chilling details of the moment that he lost control of his car and the thoughts that swirled in his mind as he lay in agonizing pain in an icy field — until everything went black.
He remembered faintly hear the voices of a man and a woman which in his mind, he called them “two nice people.” Little did he know, the “two nice people” were his parents, and his face was so badly damaged they hadn’t recognized their own son until they spotted a familiar winter coat that had been thrown from the car. Riddled with severe internal injuries, a shattered face and a traumatic brain injury, Hylden was given just a 5% chance of survival.
Everything hurt; it felt like a bomb had exploded inside of me. My lungs were filling up with my own lifeblood. I knew my life was about to be over. I didn’t think I could take much more. There was not enough air and too much pain. I never in my wildest dreams thought my life would end like this.
Many miracles happened on that day for my life to be save. Yet the greatest miracle on that day remained a secret, even from me, until much later.
-Benjamin Duane Hylden
