Yesterday after lunch I started to wrap a book I picked up for Chase for Christmas and ended up reading the entire book. The title is Refined by Fire. The story is a collaborative written by Lieutenant Colonel (Ret.) Brian Birdwell and his wife Mel. Birdwell was employed in the Pentagon the day it was bombed on 9/11. The story is a double whammy that details his recovery from being burned over 60% of his body and the role that his and his wife's faith played in them making it through the ordeal.
I finished the book at 9:30 the same evening. I laughed, cried, was stunned, cried, prayed, and cried some more. I whole heartedly recommend this book to anyone who respects our military, who believes our country is the greatest country in the world, and most importantly, believes God interacts in our daily lives and gives us whatever it takes to get us through hard times.
I heard about the book when I saw Birdwell on television several weeks ago. I was so impressed with his military knowledge and his humility. The ministry that developed from his ordeal is Face the Fire Ministries, Inc. To learn more about it, go to http://www.facethefire.org/ .
