Sitting in the Flames: Uncovering Fearlessness to Help Others

A combat veteran's story about his journey from trained killer to a work-in-process peaceful warrior, who has uncovered the strength and courage to help others. It is generous in its scope, insightful in its clarity, and bravely compassionate in its intention. Ellen Tanner Marsh, New York Times best selling author, remarks, 'Beautifully told, DeVore's book is an important and unforgetable addition to the literature of Vietnam...Above all, this is a finely rendered and heartfelt account of one man's inner journey to peace.'
