FireStarter: The Holy Spirit Empowers

FireStarter is about the empowering work of the Holy Spirit. Endorsements Usually books on the Holy Spirit have good theology and biblical teaching, but render the Third Person of the Trinity impersonal, dull, and dry. They do not draw us into the author’s lived experience. Or, they are full of exciting experiences with the Holy Spirit, but they do not help us build a good biblical and theological foundation for understanding and cooperating with the Holy Spirit. This book is a masterpiece of doing both. As you read, you will grow in personal experience as well as biblical understanding! ~ Dr. Brad Long, Executive Director of PRMI FireStarter is an honest, truth-filled account of one "academic, reserved, Bible-believing" pastor's journey to the heart of God. Phil reflects honestly and truthfully on his own experiences (or lack of them) with the Third Person of the Trinity, and helps others to enter into that journey with him. FireStarter is an important work, bringing the willing reader into a transforming life of empowered ministry led by the Holy Spirit. Read and study this book with Holy expectation and surrender, and watch what God will do in you, and through you. Mary Sterenberg Tim Vink wrote, I was able to read the wonderful pages of your book tonight. Very exciting and encouraging ... needed so much today by so many. As you point out, the secret of Jesus’ phenomenal ministry on earth was that He had help – the very same help that is available to each of us today; namely, the Holy Spirit. Our ability to live and love like Jesus increases exponentially when the fullness of the Holy Spirit is embraced by every believer. This is the GIFT that changed everything for the early church, and is changing everything in the great global expansion of Christianity in our day. I enjoyed this book’s straightforward and faith-building message. If you want to read a book on this subject that is not dry, yet not simply anecdotal, and is humanly self-revealing while being dependably informative, you will enjoy this one. I am. Stuart Dauermann
