The Spirit's Fire (Paperback)

A story of faith that can stand up to the test of flames, Spirit's Fire follows a year in the life of Crossroads Fire Company. Author Bruce Dunlop expertly explores the deep bonds of fellowship between brethren firefighters, the family lives they all return to when the fires are knocked down, and the tolls and triumphs they face, daily, moving between these sometimes frightening, sometimes conflicting worlds. For veteran firefighter Steve Zeale, faith in God motivates and informs his every deed in either sphere. When he begins to receive premonitions of fires before the alarms go off, he finds himself at a literal crossroads, and must decide, once and for all, if he will walk the path God set before him. The author's keen and persistent eye for detail follows New Jersey's Rockledge Fire Company Two through all the set-ups and take-downs of a year's worth of calls, giving the story a vibrant and irresistible realism. Believer or no, readers won't be able to put down Spirit's Fire, and when they do, they'll be the richer for it.
