Courageous. Brave. Fearless. Valiant. These synonyms are often used to describe firefighters/paramedics, police officers, and military personnel. They face danger and lay their lives on the line when they leave for work. What are their struggles? Could that hinder their job proficiency? Who is taking care of those who are taking care of the citizens of this country? Casey Carter is a 'newbie' to the firefighting family of Engine Company 15. Not only does she have to prove herself as a probationary firefighter, but she also has to battle misconceptions of females within her newly chosen profession. As situations begin to arise, can she count on the firefighter brotherhood to have her back? Will she be able to pass the tests placed before her, or are there aspects that she was not even aware existed? Often in life there are two realms in play. There is the physical realm - what is right before you; the other is the spiritual realm - what is unseen. Each can directly affect you, whether you believe they exist or not. Can Casey keep them in balance when she is not exactly sure what she is fighting? Can a group of men help her see what cannot be readily seen, hear what cannot be readily heard, and be able to overcome what she never knew existed? Will they be able to show Casey her true Call To Duty? Ephesians 6:12-13: 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

First, it was chock full of winning souls to Jesus - this author has a heart for the Lord. Second, I experienced many different emotions - fear, heartbreak, tears (my goodness the tears), and laughter. It was not what I expected when I first started reading it and I'm so glad. To have one person in your corner is nice, to have a team in your corner is a blessing! Great story, great characters. - Sandy Sims- 4.0 out of 5 stars We all have a calling in life, but we have to find out what it is. Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2014 Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase Casey is a firefighter and a good one. She is not the first woman to fight fires but in her firehouse, she is the oldest woman to come in as a rookie. This book is one of action as she learns all about fighting fires and losing loved ones. But Casey also learns about becoming a Christian and loving God. As Casey grows as a firefighter, she also grows as a Christian and begins to see how both her love of fighting fires and her love of God can fulfill her life without the love of a man. But what Casey doesn't know is that God has other plans for her. Hope you enjoy it. - reader2010 - 5.0 out of 5 stars Hard one to put down. Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2015 Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase This is a book with a great deal to say. Casey goes through a lot in this first installment. The action and description of what it is like to deal with major fires is well done and certainly quite moving. The spiritual component is well plotted and well drawn. Good start. Excellent read.
