Synopsis:

EVERY PERSON CARRIES A FIRE INSIDE — A SPARK OF POTENTIAL, STRENGTH, AND PURPOSE.

BUT FIRE NEEDS TENDING. IT NEEDS FUEL. IT NEEDS GUIDANCE.

Oak Logs and Gasoline is a book for young people finding their way, and for the mentors walking beside them. Through honest stories and timeless lessons, Jake Knox offers a grounded path toward self-awareness, integrity, and strength that lasts.

It’s not about being perfect — it’s about being real.

About learning who you are, what you stand for, and how to keep your fire burning steady when life gets hard.

Because the world doesn’t need more noise.

It needs more light.

Review:

Everyone has a fire burning inside. If you feed it gasoline, it burns hot and dies out fast. If you feed it oak logs, it burns steadily until you can replenish it and keep it going so that it doesn’t stop. That’s what this book is about. It’s a guide with thoughtful questions about your strengths and how to become self-aware. As a content creator, I could relate to a lot of the points about your self image and public image. This is a great book for anyone at any stage of life, but especially for young adults or readers at the beginning of your career. 

Oak Logs and Gasoline is a great book!
