Transformed Into Fire

I know God loves me but I want to experience His love. There are moments in every Christian's life when we hit a "spiritual glass ceiling." In those frustrating moments, we wonder, why do others experience love and intimacy with God but not me? The remedy is not a checklist of actions but a personal, powerful call to come home, to come out of the cold, to forsake the false self--our old identity--driven by pursuit of security, esteem, and power. Transformed into Fire explores the profound spiritual depths found within the routine of daily life through the discovery of our true selves in Christ. You are invited to journey toward the warm embrace of the Father where being and doing, prayer and action--all of life--become a fiery response to His intimate love. "In our fast-paced and hectic world, we can often miss what it really means to love God. [Transformed into Fire is] a treasure of a book, thoughtful and . . . meaty." --Nancie Carmichael author and founding co-publisher Virtue Magazine Judith Hougen (M.F.A.
