Over the many years that I have known Fred Hartley, he has modeled what one who gives himself fully to Christ looks like: a person of passionate prayer and focus. With creative insight, he shows how me might surrender ourselves to the Holy Spirit and await his fire and filling.
—Ravi Zacharias, author and speaker
Prayer on Fire will be a book that will have a lasting impact on your life. Fred doesn’t just write about fire, he craves, longs for, and lives the passion and intensity that fire brings. The church has confused the dust of human effort from the cloud of God’s presence. You need to read this book.
—Alice Smith, cofounder and executive director, US Prayer Center
Prayer on Fire is a wonderful explanation of how the Holy Spirit makes prayer happen in a person and in a church. My prayer life also used to be a duty, a ‘flicker’ in flame. Then the Holy Spirit touched me, and I could not pray enough. I am so thankful for this book’s message and the fruit it will inspire in the church.
—Terry Teykl, founder, Renewal Ministries

Apply its wisdom and you will succeed in this all-important endeavor.
