A shark attack. Unexpected, uncontrollable, unpredictable.

In that moment, the Reeders had no way to be prepared, no plan for what to do next—and no way of knowing that an extraordinary journey lay ahead.

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, after they finished lunch on the boat, their oldest, ten-year-old Jameson Jr., was swimming among the marine life, capturing breathtaking footage of a sea turtle.
Until a massive bull shark attacked.
Nine miles from shore and even farther from a hospital, their son weakening after the shark had ripped skin, muscle, and bone from his leg, 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.
