I loved your life story Soul on Fire movie
Love the attitude in which you deal with things
You are such an inspiration to me! I’ve loved your books and movie! May God bless you and your family always!
We just finished watching SOUL ON FIRE! Great movie!! Thank you!! I too almost lost my life as a young adult… my best friend lost his…in fact I should be dead 3-4 times…. people need movies, stories like yours to motivate and inspire them… I hope to become a speaker too and share my story to Inspire people too… God knows we need more Positivity especially in this day and age. Congratulations John on how you’ve inspired so many people through your talks, books and movie!
My wife and I just watched Soul On Fire. Thank you for sharing your story. One thing every one has control over is the attitude we choose every day.
God was with you when your accident happened. He gave you the challenge, a purpose and you overcame. Then you opened the eyes of those who could see. God led my family through a minefield during the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 into Austria and Freedom, so I can see.
Loved the movie, your story. In my 60’s now with health issues and love hearing inspirational stories and teaching. Very motivating.
I just watched your movie. A true inspiration. I want to write a book on my life. From abandonment, abuse, alone, and finding my faith and helping others. Where do I begin?
We saw Soul on Fire last night and loved it! I’ve been recommending it to my friends.
From texas we loved guys Anna texas
Congrats. Saw your movie. So moved. When life seems to get you down, it’s people like you that give inspiration.
Anxious to be a part of your motivational Mondays.
I just watched the movie soul on fire. It was emotional & beautiful. My mom was in a house fire in the 60s & was burnt over 70% of her body. The same night she gave birth to my brother. She would have loved to see the movie as she read books about burn victims. Although I wouldn’t consider you or my mom victims but warriors. My mom passed away in 2020 & reunited with her 3 sons. She has no more physical scars & like you shr has touched so many lives, Keep telling your story Darlene
I just watched the movie on Netflix called Soul On Fire. I am absolutely amazed by your determination to live after a 1% chance to survive. I loved the movie and I am so very happy that I watched it today.
