Excellent!

Jame’s Geering shares some of his life altering experiences during his many years as a first responder in the US. Some heart breaking, all educational. Compassion is the theme that runs through this eloquent and powerful window into the lives of the people whose job is to be there to help us on our very worst days.

A MUST LISTEN…

It’s deep, raw, honest and he’s an echo to my beckon. I’ve been lecturing and preaching the same facts outlined in this book to the FDNY Probies since 2015.

Took my by surprise

I wasn’t entirely sure what I was expecting from this book. I was aware of it from James the authors Instagram profile, and wanted to learn more about him and about the work that he does. I went into it with no expectations and I was brought to tears a number of times when reading of the experiences he and his team have had to endure and all the courageous things they have done to help others, even in the face of almost certain failure. The book raises some very interesting and important questions about how we think of first responders, of what it takes to be a hero and someone with compassion who is willing to put their life on the line for others, how we treat each other and what the most important things in life could be. I cannot recommend this book enough. It is without a doubt one of the best books that I have read for quite some time.

Awesome book

A book with very good I couldn’t stop listening. Thank you for sharing your book and the podcast.

James has made a positive impact on a lost soul

Being a paramedic scars the soul. The horrors you bathe in every day can become lasting film that coats your life and can’t be washed away. Often this makes medics and firefighters feel alone and depressed with a feeling of being worthless. James touches on these themes and lets us all know what true brotherhood is about.
