Steve Welker hasn't always been blind. And most people have never been blind. So most people can't fully understand Steve -- but Steve Welker can understand us. That's what this inspiring book is all about; it's about a tragedy that has been turned into a triumph of spirit in a world so many of us simply take for granted -- but that Steve Welker cannot. The World at My Fingertips tells the story of the Welkers -- Steve, Kristi and their two remarkable children -- in a truly nourishing, inspiring way, driven from within by an indomitable spirit (Steve's) coupled with an iron will (Kristi's) and a love that transcends every appearance of negative reality, no matter how dark and foreboding it might seem. The World at My Fingertips traces the long and arduous path followed by the Welker family as they recover -- ever so slowly -- and move forward in a life forever altered and endlessly challenging, but -- undergirded with a strong spirituality and a positive value system -- destined to reveal growth in every new moment, gratitude in every detail of life, and hope by example for anyone who faces life-threatening or life-altering challenges. The book will move you, and once having read it thoroughly, you will want to give it to friends as evidence that life's deeper meanings have eternal value -- and that no matter what happens, there is a divine sense to it all, if only you open your spirit's eyes and see it.

Biographies & Memoirs

Steve Welker hasn't always been blind. And most people have never been blind. So most people can't fully understand Steve—but Steve Welker can understand them.  That's what his inspiring book; The World at My Fingertips is all about: it's about a tragedy that has been turned into a triumph of spirit in a world so many of us simply take for granted—but that Steve Welker cannot. It all begins on a happy note, with Steve and his wife, Kristi joyfully anticipating the birth of their twins-conceived in a most unusual way! They attracted national attention as Leeza Gibbons featured them on her network television talk show. It was all working—until April 30, 1994. Then, in a matter of seconds, everything changed! In one seemingly senseless, unfathomable moment of disastrous coincidence, just days before the birth of their twin boys, both Steve and Kristi were severely injured in a car crash, and Steve lost his sight forever.  The World at My Fingertips tells their story of tragedy transformed to triumph in a truly nourishing, soul-satisfying way, driven from within by an indomitable spirit (Steve's) coupled with an iron will (Kristi's) and a love that transcends every appearance of negative reality, no matter how dark and foreboding the world might seem. As Leeza Gibbons has written in her foreword, “I always consider it a blessing when someone allows their story to find its way to the public through me; but Steve and Kristi Welker did more than bless us with their story. They softened hearts and healed souls. They educated and empowered. They offered a quiet example of selflessness and hard-fought-for love that has sustained them.

“Into each life some rain must fall . . .” This famous line from the poem The Rainy Day by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow is a great reminder that from time to time we all face trials and tribulations in our lives. Some of these challenges are rather minor, while others are life-shattering. Regardless of the event or circumstance, our level of resiliency will dictate how happy we are, how successful we are, and how quickly we are able to overcome future obstacles. Unfortunately, studies show that almost 70% of us lack the basic resiliency skills to overcome major challenges in our lives. But the good news is that resiliency skills can be learned before or after tragedy strikes. You can develop Radical Resiliency and overcome any obstacle with the Resiliency Triangle: * A positive attitude * A commitment to goals * A strong support group Radical Resiliency: The awe-inspiring ability to overcome challenges and lead an extraordinary life.
