Thank you for your inspiring and engaging book! I am so grateful you put yourself out there outside of your comfort zone. Your real ness is so welcome and needed.

Love this book! It was gifted to me. I’m reading it again for the third time. After receiving it, I read it within 48 hours. Then I read it again, section by section, over the summer. Each chapter, each section speaks directly to me. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to live an inspired life.

I listen to John O’Leary speak in Richmond today and I have to say he had one of the most inspirational stories I have ever heard. He is a truly amazing person from his charm to sense of humor. May God continue to bless this man.

If  you  haven’t  heard  John  O’Leary  speak  from  the  platform  of  a  sold  out  arena,  you’re  missing   out  on  an  incredible  message.  But  you’re  in  luck!  John  has  put  his  inspirational  and  life-­ changing  message  into  this  brilliant  book.    His  story  and  words  of  wisdom  will  not  only   encourage  you,  they  will  ignite  a  passion  to  live  your  life  to  the  fullest.

When  he  was  only  nine  years  old  John  O’Leary  survived  a  fire  that  should  have  killed  him.  But   as  he  quickly  learned,  surviving  is  only  the  first  step.  In  the  ensuing  years  O’Leary  and  his  family   figured  out  how  to  move  forward  in  life,  how  to  get  past  the  bitterness,  anger  and  depression  to   thrive.  O’Leary  weaves  his  own  riveting  story  around  his  hard-­won  lessons  about  how  to  engage   with  the  world,  to  demand  the  most  from  yourself  and  how  to  live  a  full  and  meaningful  life.  On   Fire  is  true-­life  story  of  post-­traumatic  growth  that  everyone  can  learn  from.

John  is  the  embodiment  of  someone  who  made  a  powerful  choice  to  not  be  defined  by  his   challenges.  This  book  is  a  reminder  to  us  all  that  no  matter  what  happens  in  life,  we  deserve   and  are  capable  of  discovering  our  passion,  pursuing  our  dreams  and  making  a  meaningful   impact  on  the  world.

I  can  count  on  one  hand  the  number  of  books  I’ve  read  that  created  an  urgency  to  push  away   my  fears  and  past  mistakes  to  step  fully  into  life.  Drawn  in  by  John’s  incredible  story  and   conversational  writing  style,  On  Fire  helped  me  see  life’s  trials  as  steppingstones  to  an   enhanced  version  of  me.  John’s  powerful  truths  enabled  me  to  stop  seeing  what  I  can’t  do  and   see  the  opportunities  still  available.  On  Fire  offers  a  redemptive  invitation  to  all,  leading  us  to   believe  that  no  matter  how  many  times  we’ve  fall  down,  no  matter  how  dismal  the  current   situation,  the  best  is  yet  to  come.

Fast  paced,  emotional,  and  surprisingly  funny,  On  Fire  is  an  amazing  reminder  that,  as  John   says,  we  might  not  be  able  to  choose  the  path  we  walk  in  life,  but  we can  always  choose  the   manner  in  which  we  walk  it.
