Fire By Night by Melissa Florer-Bixler

February 4, 2020 by Darren Wright

Title:  Fire By Night

Author:  Melissa Florer-Bixler

Pages:  190

Themes:  Old Testament, Story, Grace, Hope, Poetry, Prophets, God

Audiobook:  We do not have this book on audio

Description

Melissa’s put together a beautiful and delightful collection of reflections which invite the reader to fall in love with the stories of the Old Testament.

My (Darren) favourite book of 2019, this short and easy to read book is full of deep stories of the God of oppressed people, neighbours, enemies, strangers and friends.  

Fire By Night will hopefully hep you see the Old Testament, the Hebrew Scriptures not as a problem we need to solve, or ignore but as a gift we’re invited to linger with and come to know. Come, read this beautiful book and allow Melissa to introduce you to the gift of the Old Testament, to listen to the voice of the scriptures, wrestle with the god of the scriptures and play with the stories.
