Thank You.

Austin Carty was a cast member on Survivor: Panama Exile Island in 2006, but he isnt content or comfortable being known solely as that guy who appeared on the reality TV show, ate bugs, and built barely functional lean-tos. What he is content and comfortable with, hes discovered, is his faith and his belief in something bigger than himself. And its this faith and this belief thats led him to endure greater trials than a couple of months of outdoor living, or even surviving a monsoon dressed in a T-shirt. Today, Carty travels across the world speaking to youth about being a Christian in a world that requires a unique set of survival skills none of which, luckily, involve using a flint. Hes always wanted to write, though, and that desire has led, most recently, to this collection of candid essays. In them, Carty explores his own experiences navigating religious fervor, spiritual confusion, academic dishonesty, superficial and genuine friendships, temporary employment and vocational purpose, and romantic entanglements. His frank disclosure, coupled with his gentle, self-deprecating humor, is disarming and endearing, and perhaps most importantly accessible and relatable. Whether his readers identify as religious or secular, most will connect with Cartys writing, and find his self-awareness and introspection both refreshing and inspiring.
