On Wednesday, August 16, 2000, June D. Wilhite of the Aberdeen American News in Aberdeen, SD wrote:
     At 29, he was involved in a nearly fatal car accident on a bridge north of Onida. He was thrown through the car window; his family – wife, Natalie, newborn son and 5-year-old daughter – remained inside the upside-down vehicle.
     Natalie broke free of the wreckage and found help from passersby. But it took some 30 minutes to find her husband, who lay unconscious 75 feet away. During that time, he remembers having an out-of-body experience.
     He remembers walking through the valley of death, while “thousands of other souls dropped to my left and right side”.
     “I had to trust this angel with everything.”

On Tuesday, April 4, 2000, Patrick Baker of the Capital Journal from Pierre, SD wrote:
     Jahnig’s family and doctors wondered if he would regain consciousness after a car accident near Onida. His injuries left him comatose and partially paralyzed.
     Two physicians from the same part of the state as the Jahnigs came across the accident and were able to help until an ambulance arrived.
     Heffernan said, “To add to the erriness of the situation, a hearse came by then to help them too.”
     Sometime after the accident, Jahnig’s spiritual near-death experience began. “It all started when I observed my body laying below me in a car wreck. I didn’t know what was going on,” Jahnig said. “I turned around and saw utter darkness behind me and thought, ‘That doesn’t sound good at all.” So I turned back around to my body… this is not right.”

On Thursday, September 28, 2000, Karen Henricks of the Watertown Public Opinion in Watertown, SD wrote:
    Early in the morning of Nov. 24, 1989, north of Onida, Jay Jahnig’s car rolled end over end, repeatedly. He flew through the windshield and landed in the bottom of a dry creek. His wife and their two children were able to force their way out of the crumpled car and onto the highway. They needed help.
     Their help was in the form of two surgeons passing on the road. Together, they found Jahnig. His condition was extremely critical. The doctors could see he was struggling for each breath.”
     The ambulance rushed Jahnig to a Pierre hospital. The doctor’s goal was to keep him alive long enough to airlift him to Sioux Falls.
     There, his family was told not to leave him for the next 72 hours, doctors were not sure he would make it. Jahnig was in a deep coma. What would happen next changed his life.
     “I watched from above. I saw my body lying there in a ditch. Something seriously wrong had happened but I didn’t know what. About the time I was giving up ever being able to get back down there again, a fog approached. From that, an angel materialized. I turned around and he had his hand on my shoulder. Then he said, ‘It is time we were going.’ How do you argue with that?"

On Wednesday, December 1, 1999, Garrick Moritz of the Faulk County Record wrote:
Heffernan visited Jahnig frequently during his recovery. “I was in a wheelchair for a time, and Steve was walking with a cane,” said Jahnig. “He’d come and see me and he’d say ‘you’re only gonna get better while I’m only going to get worse. Today he’s in a wheelchair and I’m walking. He (Steve) and his family gave me the spirit to get going.”

NEW BOOK PEEKS INTO AFTERLIFE, RE-EXAMINES THIS LIFE
Imagine that it is your time to go, but you aren’t ready yet. You have too many unresolved issues with yourself, your family, and especially your God. This is the situation J. Allen Jahnig recalls in vivid detail as he tells us about his close brush with death 10 years ago following a car accident. He presents an amazing picture of his encounter with an angel who walked him and others across a bridge toward a light. Then when Jahnig resisted, how he was given a second chance from a very special Angel. He was given a chance to go back and make things right. Now as Jahnig is living his life after his brush with death, he has come to realize he needed to get things right with his God and become the man of God his family needed. Jahnig takes us through his miraculous recovery from being in a coma for over a month, through months of rehabilitation-learning to walk and talk again, and through the daily struggles of life as he fought to regain control. He relates his whole experience of coming to know God personally after the accident and how he continues to try to walk with his Lord. His message is one of hope and belief and is addressed especially to those people who think there might be a God, yet do nothing to show their belief. Jahnig’s powerful message proves that our God has amazing power to change one’s life, if only one has the faith to believe in Him.
