Book Details

Experience a coming-of-age journey of tenacity and faith.
Growing up amidst the colorful but tumultuous backdrop of the 1970s through early 1990s,
author Dan Biegler takes readers on the emotionally raw, transformative journey he navigated as
a youth. “For fear or for spite,” Dan winsomely writes, he learned to chase life and his dreams in
ways he once never thought possible: Through Fields and Fire.
Dan candidly relates not a hero story but a human story—from his younger days when the labels
of “bully magnet” and “underachiever” dogged his trail . . . to his launch from the sidelines of
life into the unexpected, in-your-face trials-by-fire of boot camp as a US Marine . . . to his soul-
searing deployment across the globe to serve on the battlefields of Operation Desert Storm . . . to
the realization he could dare to step out, take risks, and grow into his best strength.
Through it all, Dan inspires readers who see themselves on a similar “dark horse journey,” those
who hope-against-all-hope to overcome their biggest obstacles. He spurs on those who wish to
learn, as he did, that chasing life with persistence and faith can make all the difference—and lead
to life’s most amazing discoveries.

 

About the Author

Dan Biegler

Dan is no stranger to the road. Some adventures he went searching for, others just seemed to find him. He served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1988 to 1992 as a 0311 Infantry Rifleman and 8151 Marine Security Guard, including deployment in Operation Desert Storm. After the war, Dan hit the road for Chicago, earned a Bachelor of Arts in Pastoral Studies at Moody Bible Institute, and married his wife, Debbie. Over the years Dan, Debbie, and their son, Kevin, have served several local churches from both the pews and the pulpits. When not writing or speaking, he can be found at his backyard barbeque, working on some project around the house, or out somewhere on the road with his family, looking out for new adventures. Through trial and error, Dan has come many miles, and today he wants people to know that no matter how difficult our journeys may become, we will always win through resilience, persistence, and faith.
