Inspired by the Holy Spirit, this book is dedicated to the suffering people of Ukraine especially the children who are the most helpless victims of the Russian invasion. One day while the author was tending to her zoo, an image of the Holy Wound of Jesus flashed vividly upon her mind which guided her in writing of the hostilities of the war and how steadfast and burning faith serves to help people overcome life's ordeals on a daily basis of routine in the backdrop of a global pandemic and raging war.

Where is your faith today—first sparks of faith, bright blue flames, radiating heat, raging bonfire, red-hot coals, cooling embers, cold grey ashes? Is your love for God burning so brightly that you are consumed by its passion? Are those who surround you drawn to its radiance and warmed by its heat? Are sparks flying from you, spreading a wildfire faith that ignites passion in others? Or has your passion cooled, your light dimmed, or your fire been quenched? Throughout history God has chosen fire to represent his awesome power, his judgment and wrath, his protection, and his Shekinah glory: the flaming sword guarding Eden, the burning bush, the pillar of fire, the fiery furnace, the chariot of fire, the burning coal, the flame upon the altar, the lake of fire, and the flaming eyes of the Son of Man upon the throne—these are only a few of the images he has seared into our minds that we might know him more fully. God is the source of that first flicker that sparked your faith and one day you will stand in his holy presence, look into the flaming eyes of Jesus, and see his burning love for you face to face. But between that first flicker and that heavenly meeting, there is life to be lived on this earth. The challenge we all face is that life can dim our fire or even quench it, whether by the soggy mist of the mundane, or the quenching downpour of crisis. Carol Kent has discovered that God’s Word is filled with the secrets of nurturing his fire in our lives, sometimes painfully so, other times even undetected, refining, purifying, cauterizing, healing, and ultimately reshaping us into the image of his Son. Author and speaker Carol Kent will take you into God’s word, and into your own story, to reveal the true power of the fire God has placed in you, to fan the flames of your faith, stir your passion, and embolden you to spark wildfires that will spread to forever change the landscape of this world beyond your wildest imagination. God’s fire is in your life. Fan the flames. Burn brightly. Start a wildfire!

Sin is self-disesteem; it eats away at self-esteem which however can never be completely lost. The pull to God is ingrained in our fundamental belief in life. The pull away from God is self-doubt which escalates into irrational self-destruction.Jesus was a man without sin, uncankered by self-esteem, liberated for people, for a new eschatological humanity - the Jesus of the New Testament. He awakened in his followers a recognition of the origin and purpose of existence that transformed the world into the kingdom of God.
