Light & Fire

This book presents a powerful message of how countless lives were changed through one man's faith in God and his commitment to live through the light of Jesus' teachings into the transforming fire of the Holy Spirit. The book is a spiritual biography of Danny E. Morris, cofounder of the John Wesley Great Experiment,in which we see him challenge thousands of people to put God first in their lives. The author traces Morris's development as a remarkable Christian leader from his childhood connection with God to his continuing efforts to help individuals discern God's will in their lives. Morris created the Living Prayer Center, the Upper Room Program Unit which he led for sixteen years, and the Academy for Spiritual Formation, for which he has served as executive director for twenty years. He helped initiate the Walk to Emmaus movement, facilitated the development of a United Methodist-Benedictine monastery, and developed the Discernment Network for "A New Kind of Church," which involves representatives from more than six hundred churches.
