Thoughts on Fire: Life Lessons of a Volunteer Firefighter

They can walk through fire. They would sacrifice their own lives to save yours.

In the tradition of

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, Thoughts on Fire is a meditation on how to live a life that matters. Drawing on his dual life as a philosophy professor and firefighter, "Dr. Frank" begins a journey not just into the fire, but inside himself. The lessons of this voyage are not just about axes and hoses but hope, forgiveness and love.

"As a professor and a firefighter, Dr. McCluskey shifts gears easily between the metaphysical and the macho, pontificating in a pin striped suit by day and plunging into a smoky, flaming house by night."

-The New York Times

"It is a book that you will want to read again and again. It is a remarkable story that you will want to share with those you love."

-Dr. Robert Schachat, author of The Seven Conditions of Trust

"Thoughts on Fire is a book that is at once entertaining and enlightening"

-Dr. John Briggs, author of The Seven Life Lessons of Chaos
