<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>What is prayer? How does it work? Does it even help? Where do we start and where will it lead? <p/>Johannes Hartl has spent his life exploring these questions. And he's found their answers through personal meetings, experience, and often travel--a journey of discovery that has taken Hartl into the very heart of prayer. <p/>Weaving together stories of individuals, movements, and moments he has encountered across the world, Hartl invites us to join him on an incredible adventure. Exploring different approaches to prayer--such as contemplative, intercessory, creative, and revelatory--Hartl encourages us to rediscover the true central focus of prayer: a God who hears us and wants to speak to us. <p/>For those who want to participate in the power of prayer or who are struggling to pray, Hartl's thoughtful insights and wisdom, combined with reflective applications, will inspire and challenge us to catch the fire for our own life of prayer.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"'What's it all about? It's about prayer, as always. What is prayer?' So begins Johannes in the introduction to his story - a love story that on one level is a refreshingly 'easy read' yet at the same time is deeply profound.<br> Wherever you are on your journey in prayer, this book will refresh, encourage, excite and yes, will challenge you to 'go deeper'. He goes on to say: 'I am convinced that the return to prayer, the rediscovery of prayer, is the most urgent and important concern in our 21st century world.' There are many signs that the western Church is rediscovering a hunger for prayer, and God will use this book to accelerate that process - and impact the destinies our nations!"--Alistair Barton, Director, Pray for Scotland (8/2/2018 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"Absolutely brilliant book! I love the radical and authentic journey Johannes has been on and it is still unfolding! The stories in this book will inspire many to wholly pursue the Lord on an entirely new level as well as seek greater depths in prayer. He and the Augsburg House of Prayer are bright and shining lamps in Europe that are also visible here in America. His work is a much-needed prototype establishing ecumenical centers of prayer and worship, ushering in renewal and revival, breaking dividing walls, and equipping and training the next generation to lead Book of Acts lifestyles."--Keith Major, Co-Founder and President of MajorChange and 'Stone to Flesh' School of the Heart (8/2/2018 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"An exhilarating and poetic immersion into the eternal call of God to the heart of every person. Intimacy with God is where we truly discover who we are and from which all fruitfulness comes. Johannes Hartl knows who he is and I have witnessed, first hand, the fruit that has flowed from his and his community's answer to the call of prayer.--Father J. Mallon, Catholic Priest and Author of Divine Renovation: From a Maintenance to a Mission (8/2/2018 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"Dr Johannes Hartl, theologian and mystic, is a man ablaze with the love of God - reading this book rekindled the fire in my heart with desire for Jesus."--Simon Ponsonby, International Author, Speaker, and Theologian at St. Aldate's in Oxford, UK (8/2/2018 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"I so enjoyed reading this rich book - it stirred my soul. This is no ordinary book about prayer. <i>Heart Fire</i> takes you on a journey visiting different cultures, places and exploring Christian traditions where God is to be found. The stories are colourful, the insight profound and Johannes' transparency invites us to keep searching for the more of God to be found in our broken world. A book to own, learn from and give away."--Jane Holloway, National Prayer Director, World Prayer Centre (8/2/2018 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"It has been said: 'To an idea you can always oppose another idea and to a theory, a different theory, but what can we oppose to a life?' Read this book of Johannes Hartl on his journey with Jesus and try to see if you can resist the evidence radiating from it. I could not. This book tells us, better than many treatises on Christology, that Jesus Christ is alive."--P. Raniero Cantalamessa, O.F.M. Cap., Preacher to the Papal Household (8/2/2018 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"Johannes has had many adventures in faith in his journey of establishing a vibrant house of prayer in the heart of Europe. He is living a life of prayer and is a man of vision and passion. He has also been a blessing to many as he has travelled and preached, including here in the UK. You will enjoy the teaching and stories in this book and find your faith in God stretched and encouraged."--William Porter, Beacon House of Prayer, Stoke on Trent, England (8/2/2018 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"Johannes Hartl calls to the deep in us that longs to know the fire within - inspiring us to pursue prayer more passionately, and therefore know God more intimately and to see His power more fully. His book gives us vision to encounter Jesus more consistently and to live in wonder of a life dedicated to prayer."--Mike Bickle, Director, International House of Prayer of Kansas City (8/2/2018 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"Johannes Hartl welcomes us into the radical ride of a life dedicated to prayer. His honesty and creativity has illuminated my vision to what prayer can be and his thirst for beauty and brilliance draws up a new yearning in the heart of the reader. <i>Heart Fire</i> has convinced me not only of the power and splendour of living in God's gaze, but the very necessity of it. Our lives make very little sense without it. This book will challenge you to live more courageously, risk your reputation for something that's greater and bigger, and equip you with tools to keep the fire burning. I regularly found myself shouting 'wow' out loud."--Pippa Baker, One Hope Project (8/2/2018 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"One of my favourite worship songs of all time is Misty Edwards "I Will Waste my Life." I had a radical encounter with Jesus when I was 16 years old, and since that day, Jesus has fully captured my heart. I gladly give every moment of my life for God, and I will go anywhere and do anything with Him. In his book <i>Heart Fire</i>, Johannes Hartl captures a heart of love for Jesus that led him to birth the Augsburg House of Prayer. Johannes opens his very personal journey searching to know God intimately in this beautiful book about the pursuit of God through prayer. We can all learn from his devotion and passion for the One who is worthy of it all."--Heidi G. Baker, Co-Founder and CEO of Iris Global (8/2/2018 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"This book has truly stirred my heart to pray, and I know it will yours too. Johannes paints the most beautiful picture of prayer, describing different facets through charming personal stories and remarkable testimonies. He takes you on a journey into the richness of prayer, opening up hidden gems of contemplation, silence, learning to 'see' as well as bringing alive the theology of night and day worship and the importance of unity. He draws on the incredible examples of ancient mystics as well as what God is stirring in the earth today, all interweaved with his personal journey with Jesus that challenges and inspires. This book will both soften your heart for the beauty of Jesus and spur you to seek Him more."--James Waters, Burn 24-7 UK (8/2/2018 12:00:00 AM)<br>
