Description
Real gospel meets real life.
As a firefighter, Keith Mitchell is trained to snatch people from flames. As a Christian, he sees sin as a fire to be fought in our lives. This results in real living, life with freedom and a purpose, with a happy eternity thrown in.
Don't read this book if you want religion, answers to life's great mysteries or the secret of winning the lottery.
Do read it if you are willing to put your prejudices behind you and be open-minded and willing to change as a result of meeting someone far more important than all of the above put together - Jesus.
Meeting Jesus results in real living, life with freedom and purpose. And you'll find a happy eternity thrown in as well.

Entertaining and educational, compelling and challenging, interesting and instructive. -- J.John * Evangelist, The Philo Trust * Mitch has beautifully articulated that the answers to the needs of this broken world can be found only in Jesus Christ. -- Gavin Peacock * Former Chelsea FC and Queens Park Ranger Captain * Funny, well written and aimed to change lives. -- Dr R.T. Kendall * Former Minister at Westminster Chapel, London * Disarming honesty, alarming reality, personal experiences and biblical bombshells... fascinating reading. In the midst of love and laughter, suffering and pain, bereavement and romance, a story unfolds... Prepare to be stirred to pray, aroused to action and motivated to be real with God. This book will start some fires of faith which no firefighter on earth will extinguish! -- The Right Reverend Ken Clarke * Former Bishop of Kilmore, Elphin and Ardash *More details
