Out of the Fire

the long version

A heated adventure with the promise of new life. After young David Hobbs leaves his midwestern hometown for college, he spends eight summers fighting wildfires for the U.S. Forest Service. He finds, as his life begins to go up in flames, a powerful and spiritual awakening. Along with a personal philosophy of "get-it-while-you-can," David's goals in life were all too familiar: fame, fortune and true love. Out of the Fire follows the events, from the ranks of an elite fire crew on the Klamath National Forest, to a "summer of love" in Berkeley, California, as they lead him, eventually, to call upon the God he once rejected. - Back cover.
