When most people think about the book of Jonah, they think about a children’s story. Others think about a story they’ve heard so many times there could not possibly be anything new to learn from it.

A life in Christ is impossible without the Holy Spirit. Perhaps you know this to be true because you have tried following Christ in your own strength and the flame of your faith has been doused by discouragement. Maybe you want to experience a Spirit-filled live but don’t know how to begin. You aren’t alone. We are in this journey together. Whether the Holy Spirit is a complete mystery to you or a familiar friend, there is always more of him to know. This companion book to the Wildfire video series is a practical action guide to stoking the fire of deep intimacy with the Holy Spirit in our every day lives.
