Ronnie Floyd has seen his church grow tremendously as a result of his biblical teachings on spiritual disciplines such as prayer and fasting. As the conservative, evangelical counterpart to Richard Foster's"The Celebration of Discipline, "Floyd's book explores nine essential spiritual disciplines of the Christian life. With chapters such as "He's God, Not Just Your Buddy," "Confess and Be Filled," and "Every Choice is a God Choice,""Life on Fire"shows believers how living a radically committed, passionate, and purposeful life in Christ is both possible and fulfilling.
This book is the practical "how-to" of firing up one's Christian life from the non-chalant, hub-bub, non-committed, non-sacrificial, lukewarm, mediocre, wimpy Christianity into one that is on fire, blazing hot. This book is the typical "revivalistic approach" that one would expect from a non-Reformed author. Ronnie Floyd has spoken in several Promise Keepers conferences to "fire up" the crowd into becoming "committed Christians." While this book is well-written to help the Christian to live more fruitfully and obediently in Christ, better is Donald Whitney's, "Spiritual Growth Of The Christian."
Practical, Insightful

Mr. Floyd recently spoke on Janet Parshall's radio show, giving practical advice for the Christian who desires to mature, yet without the misconception that it's going to happen overnight, which is one underlying theme of LIFE ON FIRE. Growth is in the little things, the little decisions. They make all the difference. Ronnie Floyd is senior pastor of a First Baptist Church in Arkansas. A good book from which you'll benefit.
