A Navy Seal's Call to a Nation

By: Ellis Henican, Rorke Denver

Narrated by: Rorke Denver

Length: 4 hrs and 50 mins

Publisher's summary

In a fast-paced and action-packed narrative, Navy SEAL commander Rorke Denver tackles the questions that have emerged about America's past decade at war - from what makes a hero to why we fight and what it does to us. Heroes are not always the guys who jump on grenades. Sometimes, they are the snipers who decide to hold their fire, the wounded operators who find fresh ways to contribute, or the wives who keep the families together back home. Even a SEAL commander - especially a SEAL commander - knows that. But what's a hero, really? What do we have a right to expect from our heroes? How should we hold them accountable?

Amid all the loose talk of heroes, these questions are seldom asked. As a SEAL commander, Rorke Denver is uniquely qualified to answer questions about what makes a hero or a leader, why men kill, how best to serve your country, how battlefield experiences can elevate us, and most importantly, why we fight and what it does for and to us.

In Worth Dying For, Denver tackles many of these issues by sharing his personal experiences from the forefront of war today. Denver applies some of his SEAL-sense to nine big-picture, news-driven questions of war and peace, in a way that appeals to all sides of the public conversation. By broadening the issues, sharing his insights, and achieving what civilian political leaders have been utterly unable to, Denver eloquently shares answers to America's most burning questions about war, heroism, and what it all means for America's future.

An insightful worldview from a Navy SEAL!

An intuitive and thoughtful meditation on National pride, loyalty, sacrifice, functional change, and necessary paradigm shifts for those interested in realizing and working toward the essential transformation and survival of the United States of America. Not for those limited by self-imposed and short-sighted points of view, or those who want to sacrifice nothing for the betterment of their country. The internal philosohical ponderings of an accomplished and experienced veteran Navy SEAL on what makes America great, how to be a hero, who our heros really are, and what is necessary for the growth of our great country.

Very thoughtful and thought provoking.

I've been fairly conservative most of my life. Unfortunately I find that people from both sides of the political spectrum are fairly intolerant of the other side. This book reminds me of why we need to listen to others with whom we agree and disagree and reevaluate ours views often.

loved

this book was awesome. great read by the author. would love an autograph copy. wink

Inspirational, Admirable, Honorable...

Amazing insight to a warrior's world and helpful guidance of a selfless path you want to endure. Beautifully written. I love the fact Rorke himself narrated this!

Motivational and well read.

Rorke has a great presence bringing his words to life and injecting the novel with the sense of intimacy another reader simply couldn't bring.

It felt like sitting around a campfire listening to a Navy Seal tell you amazing stories.

Loved it.

Inspiring Listen

Mr. Denver is a hero, inspiring author and motivational speaker. Thank you for taking the time in putting pen to paper to share the lessons you have learned in both life and the Teams. God bless and thank you for your steadfast service to our great country.

Fantastic

Loved it, very inspirational. Rorke is a true patriot and his voice really hits you to your core!

I didn't want it to end.

What made the experience of listening to Worth Dying For the most enjoyable?

There's just something about getting advice from a Navy SEAL in his own words and voice that makes it impossible not to pay attention to what he's saying. It doesn't hurt that Rorke Denver has a great voice for narrating, either.

Have you listened to any of Rorke Denver’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I listened to Rorke Denver narrate his book "Damn Few" and liked it so much I was thrilled when I learned he had a second book coming and that he would also be narrating the audio book version. I really enjoy listening to him!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed in several places in this book and loved the touches of humor. I also had to stop and chew on what he'd said several times. There's a lot of challenging, motivating stuff in this, even for a female like me who has never been in the military (but highly respects it) and works an ordinary, everyday job. I'll be listening to it again.

Any additional comments?

If you need something to motivate you to think deeper, work harder, lead better, get involved, or even to just get off your chair and go exercise, this is the book you need. There is no way to listen to (or read) this book without being challenged and inspired to be better and go harder.

must ready

i read it in two day almost straight through! its read by Lt Denver himself and he does a great job. many lessons to be learned in this book ill probably listen again soon!

Motivating!

A call to service and inspirational guide all should hear and heed! Rorke does a great job of adding emphasis and passion to his writing.
