On Eagle's Wings: A story of survival against all odds, enduring faith, and intense determination.

Life can change in a moment and present challenges far beyond the realm of one's thinking. Initially given only two to five years to live after a devastating horseback riding accident, Mike defies the prognosis. Left a ventilator-dependent quadriplegic, Mike proves his life is worth living. A positive attitude along with sustained faith in God allows Mike to live each day. In the small rural community of Marshalltown, Iowa, friends come together providing support. A loving family, long-time friends, devoted employees, and good medical care enable Mike to thrive for the past twenty-seven years. Returning to a career he did before the injury, Mike sets out to prove he still has much to contribute. Selling not only communication equipment, horses, and horse trailers, Mike is selling the idea that life is precious and meant to live.

"On Eagle's Wings" is the uplifting, inspirational story of Mike Moehrl, a seemingly ordinary man whose extraordinary courage, perseverence, and faith enabled him to face the challenges following the accident that left him paralyzed.

You'll finish this book feeling inspired to live your life to the fullest, having heard the story of one man who is doing just that.

5... each of us has a challenge ... COURAGE and FAITH no matter what ...  May 11, 2011
By PETER FORREST


I have met Michael and was profoundly impressed with his attitude and in total wonder
of his courage to live an exemplary life without bitterness or fatigue of trying. Hard
for me to talk of him without crying. I as well as the rest of us -- have had my
CROSSES to bear -- and when I met Mike -- I could only say -- "it could have been more
severe" and I have to again be in AWE of the courage of my brother -- Mike. God bless
us all -- and Thank You God for allowing Mike to come into my life journey of experiences
-- a GIFT. Very appreciative that Joy has written his story -- and "enduring FAITH"
summarizes Mike's Gift to me. AGAIN -- Thank you God for Mike.
