Out of the Fire

How an Angel and a Stranger Intervened to Save a Life

De: Mike Kinney

Narrado por: Richard Ferrone

Mike Kinney shouldn’t be alive today.

When his truck slammed into a telephone pole and burst into flames, the seventeen-year-old became pinned in the driver seat. Moments before the vehicle was consumed by fire, Mike was pulled from the burning wreckage of twisted metal as his body burned. After his guitar was incinerated in the blaze, Pete Townsend from The Who, a musical inspiration, sent him a new guitar, offering, “This is the Phoenix.”

In the wake of his Phoenix moment of rising from the ashes, Mike wanted to believe that his life had been saved for a unique purpose. But along the way—through a brutally painful physical recovery, learning to live with a brain injury, and eventually several vocational disappointments—that purpose to which he believed God had called him seemed in jeopardy. Determined, though, Mike pressed on.

Mike Kinney’s life was saved by God from the flames for a unique purpose, and Out of the Fire invites listeners to live out the purpose God has for their lives—even when, and especially when, that purpose seems to be in jeopardy.

Great story

Mike experienced a life changing event and tells his “God moment” in a way that everyone will relate to. Not believing God created you doesn’t mean he didn’t. Not believing He sent His son Jesus to intervene in our lives doesn’t mean He didn’t either. Mike’s story is deeply relatable and personal. Read this book if you are just slightly interested in knowing who Jesus is and how He wants to work in your life. Thanks for sharing your story Mike!

Inspiring story of God’s ever presence in our life

The fact that Mike is even alive to tell his story is remarkable in itself. To hear the detailed account of Mike’s rescue and know that Jesus was present, and actually seen by his friend and rescuer, Matt, qualifies as more than enough to appreciate this book.
But the story does not come even close to stopping there. As much as Mike’s life being spared from the accident is miraculous, the journey he has travelled since that day is the true reason to read this book. His story is for anyone who has faced a significant trial in their life, or truthfully, everyone every day. To know in one’s heart that “God is with us” through any and all circumstances is the powerful reminder and message that Mike wishes to share, and is at the heart of why he shared it.
Please know—you will be blessed!
