A story born from real collisions, long nights, and the quiet work of standing back up. This memoir isn’t about perfect belief or easy answers; it’s about what remains when life hits hard and faith must be reconsidered, re-learned, and lived honestly.
Sucker Punched in the Faith is a raw, unfiltered memoir about what happens when life delivers blows you never trained for—and faith is no longer something you can lean on the way you once did. Through car accidents, chronic illness, dialysis nights, creative loss, and spiritual reckoning, Jaythan Sparks tells a story shaped not by easy answers, but by endurance.
Learning How to Stand Again
This is not a testimony wrapped in certainty or clichés. It is an honest account of learning how to stand when belief is shaken, when the body betrays, and when faith must be rebuilt in places it was never expected to survive. Written for anyone who has been hit hard by life and wondered if they could still stand, this memoir offers truth, reflection, and the quiet strength of resilience.

Inside the Journey

When Life Hits Without Permission
Life doesn’t always announce its turning points. Accidents, illness, and loss arrive without warning, leaving little time to prepare or understand what’s happening beneath the surface. Sucker Punched in the Faith begins in those moments—when control disappears and belief is tested not by theory, but by survival.
Standing Without Easy Answers
This story isn’t about instant healing or restored certainty. It’s about learning how to remain upright when answers don’t come quickly, when faith must be re-examined, and when standing becomes an act of resistance. Sometimes endurance itself is the testimony.
