I believe that George is one of them."Joe Howard, Fire Chief, Rowlett, Texas"[George Burk's] determination and professionalism are examples for all of us to follow."A. M. Gray, General, U. S. Marine Corps, Commandant of the Marine Corps"What would happen if your life was a living hell? Read this book. George Burk has been to hell.

George shows us that when there are two outs in the bottom of the ninth, the game is far from over."Michael Kazyak, Dow Corning, Midland, Michigan"Thank you, George, for sharing your journey with us. You do make a difference in people's lives . . . I know, because you've made a difference in mine."Helen L. Campbell, Executive Director, State Firemen's & Fire Marshals' Association of Texas"Reading his book will rekindle your emotions, enhance your perspective, and very possibly change your life."Buck Riley, Basketball Coach, Adrian College, Adrian, Michigan"I thought I was going to be writing about a plane crash victim who had survived. Instead, I wrote about a survivor who had triumphed . . . Burk survived by reaching deep inside himself to a place he never knew existed and finding an energy he never knew he had. It is a place he has tapped many times since the crash. With characteristic courage, enthusiasm, and compassion, Burk shares his story, so that we may find our special place, too."Deborah Weisberg, Reporter, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: In 1998, Captain George Burk's USAF (Ret.) story of his experience as a plane crash and burn survivor, The Bridge Never Crossed-A Survivor's Search for Meaning, generated an outburst of praise from everyone who read it. On May 4, 1970, George was the sole survivor of 14 Air Force personnel in a military plane crash. He suffered extensive burns, and multiple internal injuries. This motivational speaker and author returns with another book presenting many of the lessons and principles of life learned as a survivor and "overcomer." George Burk is a highly decorated military officer and public servant who presently resides in Scottsdale, Arizona. He is a nationally recognized motivational speaker, trainer and writer whose mission is to "entertain, inform, inspire and persuade." As a plane crash and burn survivor, George Burk shares with you his experiences, principles, and values you can use on your journey; they are valid and work because George uses them in his own life.
