“Strength beyond the Shadows is a raw, hard-truth, light-shining-bright-into-some-dark-places story few have the courage to reveal and Seth is on an undeniable quest to change lives.”—NICK LAVERY, Green Beret, U.S. Army Special Forces, Founder / CEO, Precision Components LLC
Seth Gehle’s story is a testament to the courage and strength within each of us to overcome adversity and our personal traumas. For nearly sixteen years, Seth suffered unspeakable crimes and endured tragedy that no human should have to face. Growing up in a broken home filled with abuse and neglect, a young Seth left and found himself further down the path to hell.
In this painfully honest account, Seth describes the horrific trauma and sexual abuse he withstood as a child. Seth’s story is all too common. What makes him an anomaly is his willingness to recount his experiences, bringing understanding of not only what he endured but the devastating aftermath suffered by millions who are victims of childhood trauma.
Through an unrelenting will to survive, Seth fought for his life and discovered the power of the human spirit. His ability to articulate the darkest moments of his life as well as his courage to live beyond such horrendous suffering are found within the pages of Strength beyond the Shadows.

Seth has a remarkable way of telling his story of overcoming extreme adversity in his childhood like sexual abuse in a way that nobody has done before. His story is beautifully tragic – tragic that he had to endure so much trauma but beautiful because he came out the other side and is now a motivational speaker helping others with his story. This is a must read.

Raw, real and proof positive that overcoming is possible.
[...]The author has done the hard work to show up for his younger self in a way that can only be described as heroic. He discovered the hero within. That hero is giving voice for all the ones who have yet to know they have one. The author’s indomitable spirit and personal accountability is inspiring.

Riveting and Exemplifies the Strength of the Human Spirit
[...]Made the mistake of bringing this book to work – could NOT put it down. On the plus side, I bought it to the gym which made me work out longer than normal.Seriously though, this is a must read for anyone especially those who have been effected by trauma or who work with those effected by trauma. I work in human services/social work and have already shared the title with my coworkers and encouraged them to get a copy.Thank you Seth for your honesty and bravery in sharing your story.

A truly heartbreaking and inspiring read
[...]Yesterday I finished Seth’s book Strength Beyond the Shadows, and I cannot recommend it enough. It is absolutely heartbreaking, but also incredibly inspiring. For anyone trying to overcome trauma, for anyone trying to support a friend or loved one who has experienced trauma, for the educator who’s heart hurts for the kids we see coming to our classrooms currently experiencing traumatic events, this book is for you. Really it’s for everyone because the hard truths need to be told, and Seth does an incredible job at telling his hard truth and discussing how he has built a life he can and should be proud of, despite the childhood he endured. I am so proud of everyone that has been able to find their strength beyond the shadows.

Transformative and Raw
[...]This story is so very important for so many reasons. I found that the raw grit of the story makes you feel like you are in these scenes with Seth. It is painful but illuminating in the way you receive instant perspective. As a prior army medic, and someone who’s suffered both physical and emotional trauma this book drives home the point that ALL of us is so much more than what has happened to us. We are more than a solitary instance and our lives have so much more value. It’s a great story and a true and honest account. So many hide the honesty but it begs to be said.

Inspiring story about overcoming the unthinkable
[...]This story of unthinkable neglect and abuse shows that the past does not have to define your future. Seth in an incredible young man who has endured the worst, but came out on the other side and is now helping so many who suffered the same circumstances. His book is well written and a quick read. Well worth the read to see that no matter what you are dealing with, you don’t have to let it define you!
