Fire from Ashes: The Reality of Perpetual Conversion

Item No. 9781936270972

by Joseph Huneycutt & Steve Robinson

Popular bloggers and podcasters Fr. Joseph Huneycutt and Steve “the Builder” Robinson explore the reality of life in Christ as perpetual conversion—falling and rising, falling and rising again. No matter how cold the ashes of our hearts, with Christ’s help we can fan them back into flame. Illustrated with Steve’s inimitable cartoons.
