Publisher's Summary

When Mark McDonough was a teen, a catastrophic fire claimed the lives of his mother and younger brother. It also left Mark with burns on over 65 percent of his body. During a long and painful recovery, his faltering faith in God was strengthened by a remarkable near-death experience. Inspired to pursue a career as a plastic surgeon to help those who suffer as he has, McDonough has overcome numerous other adversities on his journey, including addiction and a stroke. Now he shares his incredible true story of survival and perseverance to bring hope and healing to those dealing with great physical and emotional pain.

Anyone who has suffered or watched a loved one suffer from a personal trauma, disease, or loss that has tested or stolen their faith and exhausted their emotional resources will find real hope in this redemptive story.

Inspirational story

An inspiring story of the life journey of a young boy who experienced serious physical trauma due to burns in a house fire. He develops a rare sense of discipline in order to recover and go on to study for many years to help those in the same situation that he was in.

waste of time

A poorly written, egotistical book that carries on about Jesus more to avoid putting forward any real effort in to story writing.
