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.
