He helped save people every day - but he had no idea how to save himself.

Jason Sautel had it all. Confident in his abilities and trusted by his fellow firefighters, he was making a name for himself on the streets of Oakland, California. His adrenaline-fueled job even helped him forget the pain of his childhood - until the day he looked into the eyes of a jumper on the Bay Bridge and came face-to-face with a darkness he knew would take him down as well.

In the following months, a series of traumatic emergency calls - some successful, others impossible-to-forget failures - drove Jason deeper into depression. Even as he continued his lifesaving work, he realized he could never rescue everyone, and he had no idea how to save himself.

In the end, Jason was forced to confront the truth: Only the relentless power of love could pull him back from his own deadly fall. Action-packed, spiritually honest, and surprisingly romantic, The Rescuer transports listeners inside the pulse-pounding world of firefighting and into the heart of a man who needed to be broken before he could finally be made whole.

I have been in the fire service for almost 19 years and this is the first book I have ever read by a firefighter about his own life and time on the job . I loved this book and it held my attention throughout. I highly recommend it.

My children fight fires. Work as paramedics. This book takes me along with them, for awhile. To live what they live. Feel what they feel. Love them for the sacrifices they make, everyday everywhere. God bless them all !

I wish books would give us a hint if they contain a lot of religious content. I was expecting stories of the life of a firefighter, not a story of being reborn.

Good book until the preaching started

Narration is great, makes the story that much more human and relatable. I laughed and teared up reading this but really appreciated how this book made me feel and appreciate the good things.

Good read, great story
