"Everyone has had their invincible moment... that instant when all of the odds and adversity are conquered and your goal has been achieved or your 'dream' has been realized. Bill Shaner had everything but his life and family taken away from him but somehow he showed us true courage by never quitting. He nearly paid the ultimate price but was willing to pay the price to make his dream to be whole once again come true. A great story about faith, guts and Invincibility!"
Vince Papale, former Philadelphia Eagles Football player, author of the book Invincible: My Journey from Fan to NFL Team Captain whose character was played by Mark Wahlberg in the Disney movie Invincible.
"Bill Shaner's life illustrates that an unfortunate experience can leave you not only wiser, but more honest with yourself, compassionate, giving, caring and most important willing and able to create your best life."

"Bill Shaner's remarkable story will leave you resonating with inspiration. But perhaps most importantly, he goes beyond his near-death experience and gives us a game plan for living life to the fullest. He has left a blueprint on how to be positive and patient, on how to connect with people and find inner peace. With apologies to Neil Armstrong, Shaner's story can be summed up thusly: One small collapsed building on a man, one giant step for mankind."
Sam Carchidi, author of Miracle in the Making: The Adam Taliaferro Story and Standing Tall: The Kevin Everett Story
