One Inch Between Life and Death Updated and Revised Second Edition (Paperback)

One inch was the difference between life and death.

On a Sunday afternoon in 1985, sixteen-year-old Steven A. Hauer set out for what seemed like an ordinary day in rural Minnesota. But one sudden accident changed everything. A bullet entered his back, struck his rib, and stopped just one inch from his heart.

What followed was a desperate drive to the hospital, a fight for survival, and a long road of recovery filled with fear, faith, family, and hope.

One Inch Between Life and Death: Updated and Revised Second Edition is a true story of survival, second chances, and the fragile gift of life. Told with honesty and gratitude, Steven shares how one life-changing moment became a lifelong reminder that every day matters.

For readers who appreciate inspirational true stories, Christian testimony, and memoirs of resilience, this faith-filled memoir offers a powerful message of faith, hope, and strength.

Steven A. Hauer's debut book, One Inch Between Life and Death, is a powerful true story of survival, resilience, and purpose. After a near-fatal hunting accident, he was left to reflect on the moments that shaped his life and the deeper meaning behind his survival. Today, he considers himself a walking miracle.

Through years of challenges and personal growth, Steven came to realize that he was spared for a reason-to share his journey and inspire others. This book marks his first step into published writing while balancing his career as a Sales Merchandiser and Insurance Broker.

When he's not writing, Steven enjoys fishing, spending time outdoors, playing card games, and listening to music.
