Resumen del Editor

Hot Wash, noun: the review held after military training and real-world operations facilitating growth and improvement; an honest evaluation of strengths and weaknesses

As a special operator in the US Navy’s most elite unit and actively engaged in the global war on terrorism, Eddie Penney had achieved his childhood dream. He was the tip of the nation’s spear, prepared for anything—except for becoming a single parent of three young children. Eddie learned powerful lessons from the roles of warrior and father. In Unafraid, he shares his story, insight gained, and the truths exposed when you reflect, regroup, and commit to personal growth. You’ll hear about life as a Navy SEAL and the adolescent aspirations that led Eddie toward a military life, as well as the painful challenges that left him a single father with sole custody. You’ll learn that old wounds—both seen and unseen—can heal, and redemption is always possible. Whether these struggles feel familiar or you’re searching for inspiration, Unafraid is a must-have memoir revealing that each of us has a warrior within.

Excellent

Powerfully authentic story. Very moving. One of the best military based autobiographies out there. Highly recommend.

totally amazing

Eddie,

you are an amazing person. your life’s journey is a story of triumph. I too am a Christian and God is also my rock. It took me a while to come into the fold as well. i don’t know you but i love you my friend. thank you for being a force for good in everything you do. As you know this is rare in today’s world. Continue to be Unafraid my friend.

Good story with good take-aways

I appreciate how the author focused more on his personal life struggles than his successes on the job. It’s all too often we hear about how these special operators are almost god-like in their lives, when books like these show how they’re just as frail as anyone else in their personal endeavors. I never felt like the author was being preachy or talked too much about himself. Very humble approach to the story, which kept me engaged the entire time! A good refreshing story!

Everyone needs to listen to this book

This book is a 12/10 just fantastic from start to finish ,this book brought me to tears a few times, as a veteran and new father myself it definitely hits home for me. The decision to have him narrate his own story was a great one because you can feel the emotion.

Beyond Inspiring!

This book is one of the most inspiring I have read (listened to) in a long time. Other than the military experience (which is one of my true regrets in my life), I can relate to so much of Eddie’s life. It hit home throughout most of the book.
This book is in my top list of recommendations.

Eddie, keep up the good work. God is our protector, motivator and peace in this world of chaos and evil. I am the same age as you and you are one of my true heroes. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE! GOD BLESS AMERICA!

A book about life, brilliant!

It was not what I had expected but I couldn't stop listening.
I was looking for cool war stories, instead I got an intimate insight into what it takes to be at the pinnacle of modern warfare.
The costs are far more than we realise and the open and honest insight is moving and humbling.
Brilliantly narrated, open, honest, raw and moving. Eddie should do more audio because it was better than the professionals.
From mindset, religion,family, divorce and the brutal loss of friends and family, the gamut of topics is broad but Eddie lays it out cleanly simply and with reason. I loved the 'hotwash' recap at the end of each chapter and enjoyed the additional insights that Eddie wanted us to take away as well as what you gleam during the chapter.
It's more than a war book, it's a story about life, enduring, the mental and physical fortitude required to perform, excel and navigate what it takes to be the best.
Congrats man this is brilliant!

Phenomenal story and life lessons!

This story takes you to the highest highs and the lowest of lows. The way Eddie narrated this story makes you feel like you are present/living it. You can hear the emotions in his voice as he walks you through the trials of combat, friendship, fatherhood, family and religion. a story stacked with invaluable life lessons from the trials and tribulations this guy endured.
Highly recommended to those seeking value and hope in their lives. It’s also action packed with a ton of adventure.

great!

Mr Penny does not hide his emotion through his narration. his emotions are real and make you feel more connected. as a Navy SEAL though he talks about combat for very brief amount of chapters it focuses on the family struggle of being a single dad. through his hardships and through the accomplishments he shows humbleness in his writing and as a person. this book will guide you through his life and what he's been through and make you appreciate the small things. I tear up writing this. it's a great book for anybody whether you're interested in special forces or you find yourself being a single parent.

A well thought out and put together audiobook.

loved ever second or this book. Kept me listening to the entire book. A lot of life lessons learned from this book for my own personal growth. Thank you. Keep doing great things!

Eddie's story is a great example of God's grace

This is an amazing story of God's grace. The ending is awesome! I'm glad he decided to narrate it because he brought emotion and authenticity to the audiobook that no other person could.
