About Oak Logs & Gasoline
Oak Logs & Gasoline isn’t a rulebook. It isn’t a lecture.
It’s a steady voice at the fire — a place to sit, breathe, and remember who you’re becoming.
This book is a map you return to when life feels tangled, a mirror that tells the truth without judgment, and a flame to warm your hands on the days the world feels cold.
Around this fire, we don’t pretend perfection.
We show up as we are — tired, hopeful, uncertain, growing — and we learn to tend a flame that lasts.

Oak Logs & Gasoline: The Fire Inside

Some books speak at you.
This one sits beside you.
Oak Logs & Gasoline was born from late-night conversations between a father and his sons — conversations about pressure, identity, mistakes, purpose, and that quiet fear of not being enough.

Oak Logs & Gasoline was born from late-night conversations between a father and his sons — conversations about pressure, identity, mistakes, purpose, and that quiet fear of not being enough.
Young people today don’t need another person shouting instructions at them. They need someone to say, “I’ve been there too. Pull up a chair.”
That’s what this book does.
It doesn’t claim to have all the answers. It simply lights the path so you can see your next step.
The book opens with a parable about a woodsman teaching someone how to build a fire that lasts — the difference between gasoline, the quick flash that burns out fast, and oak logs, the slow, steady fuel that endures.
That metaphor becomes the heartbeat of the entire book.
Every chapter is one “log” — something you can carry, practice, and return to when life starts to wobble.
This isn’t a book to finish.
It’s a fire to tend.
This is a book about:
● Finding purpose when the world feels overwhelming
● Building character instead of chasing validation
● Managing stress and pressure with clarity rather than panic
● Strengthening your inner voice so it guides instead of condemns
● Letting go of old weight that keeps you from moving forward
● Becoming someone others can trust, follow, and learn from
