Corpus Christi, Texas – When Nate Lytle faced a life-or-death struggle after suffering a traumatic brain injury, he touched people’s lives without even knowing it. Waking from his coma to a supportive and compassionate group of family and friends, he made it his goal to inspire and help others get the most out of life, even in the bleakest of moments.

From his surfing comrades urging his recovery through online forums to his church members and nurses passing along prayers in the hallways, Lytle’s struggle became a inspiration to everyone he met – especially the woman who would become his wife, Brianna, who from the moment she heard about Lytle’s condition felt a strong connection to him.

“I was so excited when I heard he had awakened from his coma. My first thought was that I had to meet him; I had to be able to tell him how he had touched my life. Mind you, this was all so strange to me, knowing that here he was, someone my age, fighting for his life, facing probably the hardest thing he will ever have to go through, and on top of that I was his nurse for a short while, and he has brought up all these emotions in me and motivated me to want to really find Jesus,” Brianna recalls.

“Mom, I think she was an a-a-a-a-angel. My a-a-a-angel,” Lytle said, still struggling with his speech. Although he couldn’t remember her name or where she had come from, he knew he had seen someone in his dream-like state with “dark hair, bright eyes, pretty teeth and a warm spirit.”

After he was released, the two were formally introduced at his benefit party. There was an instant connection. Brianna continued to care for Lytle as he recovered, becoming more involved in his life and in his thoughts. Lytle not only found a new appreciation for life and his relationship with God, but also someone special with whom he could share it.

More God tells the incredible story of one man’s physical, emotional and spiritual journey through his near-death experience. Lytle’s insight provides survivors and families with the motivation and encouragement to live life to the fullest. Drawing from his positive view on life and relationship with God, he shows that good can come from the worst situations.
