Burnout: A Marine's Story of Trauma, Surrender, and Healing through Faith - Paperback

by Keith Cole (Author)

Burnout: God's Recovery Plan is a deeply personal and faith-filled story of Kevin Casey, a U.S. Marine Corps combat veteran wounded three times in Vietnam. After returning home, Kevin becomes the unexpected guardian of his younger siblings and eventually builds a successful career as a Certified Public Accountant. But beneath the surface, unhealed trauma, years of suppressed grief, and the weight of responsibility slowly erode his strength. Decades later, burnout finally overwhelms him-emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

In his darkest moments, Kevin cries out to God, and what follows is a journey of brokenness, surrender, and divine restoration. Through heartfelt storytelling, flashbacks of war, and candid moments of spiritual struggle, Kevin's story parallels biblical accounts of men and women who also faced burnout and found healing in God.

This powerful narrative, though fictionalized to protect privacy, is based on the author's real-life experience. Burnout: God's Recovery Plan offers hope for anyone who has carried too much for too long and points the weary soul to the only true source of lasting recovery-faith in Jesus Christ.

Keith Cole poured his journey into a fictional Marine named Kevin Casey - a man carrying his memories, his wounds, and his redemption. In the book, Keith shares God's Recovery Plan - a simple, daily path back to life with God. He is happily married to Lily Cole. Decades later, burnout, trauma, and spiritual emptiness brought him to his knees-and ultimately to surrender and healing through Jesus Christ.
