About this listen
He lost his face in a fire. He never lost his faith.
When firefighter Pat Hardison ran into a burning home, he came out alive—but with injuries so severe, he was unrecognizable. Facing the Fire is his raw, unfiltered true story of survival, a record-breaking face transplant, and the God who never left him in the flames.
For the next fourteen years, Pat lived behind skin grafts, pressure masks, and the constant stares of strangers—fighting to be the husband and dad his family needed when every mirror told him to quit.
Then came an unexpected call from New York: a chance at the most extensive face transplant ever attempted. The surgery would be dangerous. The outcome uncertain. But it might be his only shot at more than survival.
Facing the Fire is the plainspoken, unforgettable true story of:
- A man who refused to let tragedy write the ending
- The loved ones who walked every mile beside him
- A groundbreaking medical miracle that made history
- And the God who never left him—even in the fire
Raw, gripping, and deeply human, Pat takes you inside the real cost of courage—one surgery, one hard decision, one answered prayer at a time.
If you’ve ever wondered where hope comes from when life burns everything down, this book will show you.
