Book Description
When it comes to having a desire to see things change, it is obvious that most Christians are ready for it! The problem is that churches have tried every program available, and yet they still feel that there is something missing from their ministry. This book takes a fresh look at ministry and challenges us to consider that we may have actually left God out of the ministry equation, by not realizing how desperately we need for God's Spirit to set us on "fire!" Take a journey through the Bible and discover for yourself, how God's fire is present when God is on the move! Discover how God's fire reveals his character as well as our calling to be transformed into the image of Christ! You will also discover how being one of God's Fire Starters can be one of the most exciting adventures of anyone's life! Donald A. Broadwater was born in Roanoke, Virginia and spent most of his early life growing up around the Blue Ridge Mountains. He graduated from Covenant College and Westminster Theological Seminary, and for the past three decades, Don and his family have been on an adventure that has taken them from America to Australia. He is married to Gloria and has two grown children from their 37-year marriage. God has unfolded a unique ministry of discipleship that has sought to encourage people to take their next step on a Journey in Jesus. This ministry is needed because our journeys are as unique as God who is fashioning them for us. He has also spoken for church camps and seminars, which have included the international conference, "Fire on the Mountain," on Mt. Tambourine in Queensland, Australia.

Book Description
There are times in life where Christians may experience dullness or lack of vigor when it comes to fully worshipping God in Spirit and in Truth. I call these moments "lulls". Sometimes we feel that God has forgotten about us or is mad at us. Sometimes we feel like we're not worthy to be part of God's family. Sometimes we may not feel like going to church or bible study. Sometimes we may not feel like praising or worshipping God. Sometimes we may not feel like praying. Sometimes we don't feel like serving God or people. Sometimes we have these "lulls" where we are lethargic, dull, uninspired, weak, weary or tired and we end up living a life reflective of how we feel and not the life that God intends for us to have. During these "lulls" we need an energy drink; an energy boost. We need a kick or a lift-me-up to get us back to where we were or to even go higher. The energy drink we need is not of this world; we need to drink the water from the well of living water. We need to fan the flame by stirring up the gifts that already dwell inside of us. One way to get that energy boost is by saying what we call "Fire Starters". Fire Starters help to reignite you so that you may have passion and zeal for the Lord and the motivation to do the things that are pleasing in His sight. Fire Starters help to fan the flame so if your light is only burning dimly then the Fire Starters will help your light to burn bigger and brighter so you arise to your position as a child of the Most High God.

Book Description
The Fire Starter Sessions is an apathy-kicking, integrity-infusing guide to defining success on your own terms. Danielle LaPorte’s straight-talk life-and-livelihood sermons have been read by over one million people. Bold but empathetic, in The Fire Starter Sessions she reframes popular self-help and success concepts, including: - Life balance is a myth, and the pursuit of it is causing us more stress then the craving for balance itself. - Being well-rounded is over-rated. When you focus on developing your true strengths, you enter your mastery zone. - Screw your principles (they might be holding you back). - We have ambition backwards. Getting clear on how you want to feel in your life + work is more important than setting goals. It's the most potent form of clarity that you can have, and it's what leads to true fulfillment.
