After a devastating breakup, Spencer Swalm underwent a dramatic conversion to Christianity as a young man. But while his newfound faith saved his soul, his life continued to spiral. Beginning with a two-week, involuntary commitment to a psychiatric hospital after a hunting trip gone bad, his life with bipolar disorder became a series of wild rides up followed by harrowing, life-threatening rides down. Along the way were side excursions as an attorney, Amway distributor, outdoorsman, prominent Colorado politician, Christian, and devoted family man.

The roller coaster of his life led him to rely on psychotropic medication but ultimately with nowhere to turn except Christ. Now, in his twilight years, he's in the battle of his life as he confronts the scourge of his generation: Alzheimer's disease.

This is his story.
