Fan the Flame

More about the book

What if we modeled our churches after Jesus' intentions? What if our ministries relied not on human wisdom but on God's power? Recent years have shown how quickly circumstances can shift, revealing the inadequacies of popular church growth trends. Many churches are struggling, and pastors often feel discouraged despite their sincere efforts. Jim Cymbala, a long-time pastor and best-selling author, has observed a pressing need for a return to basic spiritual leadership among Christians. He emphasizes that the church belongs to Christ, not to us. For the church to thrive, we must minister according to His ways. With humility and a renewed focus on the leadership model found in the book of Acts, Cymbala presents an urgent message for all in ministry. He addresses ministers, church leaders, and committed Christians, aiming to guide them through challenging times. His book serves as a reminder to seek God's guidance in our work, encouraging prayer for divine intervention and empowerment. In these dark times, Cymbala calls for a revival of God's Spirit and power, urging readers to be instruments of His will. His heartfelt plea is for the church to rise and fulfill its mission with renewed vigor and faith.
