Description:
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. There’s a moment—just before stepping into chaos—when everything slows down. The noise fades. The world narrows. And a quiet voice says, Go. David Burnell has spent a lifetime answering that call. From military service and tactical operations to search and rescue missions, humanitarian deployments, and high-risk environments across the world, he has stood where few are willing to stand—between chaos and the innocent. But Built by Fire is not just about the missions. It is about what they cost. The weight is carried long after the moment ends. The unseen battles. The quiet toll of service that doesn’t fade when the uniform comes off. It is about the moments that break a man—and the ones that rebuild him. Told with honesty and hard-earned clarity, this memoir takes you beyond the action and into the reality of a life lived in service. It reveals how purpose is forged not in comfort, but in adversity, and how the same fire that tests you can ultimately transform you. This is a story of: This book is for anyone who has faced hardship, carried unseen burdens, or searched for meaning after everything has changed. Because the truth is simple: Built by Fire is a powerful, authentic account of courage, faith, and the kind of purpose that can only be forged through experience. Duration - 3h 10m.
