Download or read book The Gift of Fire written by Dan Caro and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2010-03-01 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dan Caro has been proving the world wrong since he was in diapers. When he was two years old, he was engulfed in a fireball during a gasoline explosion in the family garage and was left with third-degree burns over most of his body—so severe that doctors held out little hope he’d survive more than a few days. Dan was in such excruciating pain that his devastated parents silently prayed for God to end their son’s suffering and welcome him into heaven. And it seemed as if God was willing to oblige—Dan technically died on the operating table several times in the hours following the accident. But even though his heart stopped, Dan’s spirit wasn’t ready to give up . . . somehow he knew he had work to do. Despite the odds, Dan survived, but life would not be easy. The fire left him badly maimed and disfigured. His hands were burned away, as was most of his skin and nearly all of his face. He would endure years of painful surgeries and endless months of lonely isolation in burn units, only to suffer the agony of social rejection, shunned and called "monster" by both children and adults in his Louisiana hometown. With the support of his loving parents and siblings, Dan did not despair. He kept his heart open to the world and focused on the positive energy around him. Before his sixth birthday, he vowed that his life would not be defined by the way others saw him or the restrictions of his so-called physical handicaps. Dan set himself a series of life goals, starting with the art of tying his shoelaces without fingers. Once he had achieved that milestone, he decided he could do anything . . . so why not learn to play the drums? When Dan was told he’d never be able to do so, he promised himself that one day he’d become one of the most accomplished drummers in the city that gave jazz its name—New Orleans! Since that day, Dan’s music has inspired thousands, and many more have also been inspired by his personal philosophy of focusing on the positive, refusing to accept limits, and living life with an open heart. Today, the young man who was once shunned and called "monster" by his neighbors is very much in demand as a public speaker and travels the country encouraging others to not just overcome life’s hardships, but to view adversity as a gift that can drive us toward reaching our full potential. This is Dan’s first book.

Book excerpt: When humans first discovered fire, they changed their world and ours. Makers of Fire is about embracing this heritage and stepping up to our role as creators of the future. As our species matures and reaches out to touch the stars,what do we take and what do we leave behind? In other words, as we turn towards the 22nd century,how can we create the future we prefer? Makers of Fire explores provocative ideas such as... How can we navigate our culture of rapid change? Is it possible to influence what happens tomorrow? What guidance do our spiritual resources offer for leading from the future? What can Cain and Abel, Abraham, and Jesus teach us about leading from the future? Somewhere in our evolutionary past, people unleashed their creative genius and discovered fire. They somehow learned to bring together the three necessary ingredients of fuel, oxygen, and heat. Using the Triangle of Combustion as the model, author Alex McManus layers the "Triad of Fire" with two other layers. The first layer, the "Triad of Leadership,"explores the three ingredients needed to lead from the future. The second layer, the "Triad of Change" explores three elements of social change. The structure of the book naturally falls into three parts -- Fuel, Oxygen, and Heat -- which allows the reader to easily follow the story the author tells. Order you copy and join author Alex McManus on a journey through a galaxy of ideas and get ready to make fire.
