“If you are looking for a practical game plan to see the fires of prayer ignited in your church, then Church on Fire is a book you must read. Every time my friend, Fred Hartley, writes a book, I am stretched and inspired in my pursuit of the manifest presence of God. In Church on Fire, he inspired me to long for the fire of God’s presence for my whole faith family as well. It will not only stretch and inspire your prayer life, but it also lays out a practical plan to see the power of prayer unleashed in your church body. Every pastor should read this book.”

—Chip Henderson, Pastor, Pinelake Church, Jackson, Mississippi

“I encountered the teachings of Fred Hartley at a conference in Bethlehem in 2012. I never thought that his teaching would change my sleeping schedule and provoke me to wake up at 4 am every morning in order to spend time with God. This book elaborates the teachings of that conference. It will challenge congregations to encounter Christ and serve Him from a Spirit-filled and Spirit-saturated perspective. Be careful, it will change your life!”

—Yohanna Katanacho, Academic Dean

Bethlehem Bible College and Galilee Bible College

“Thirty-one days. Thirty-one challenges. Hundreds of churches ignited by God’s presence. Of this I am certain. With Church on Fire, Fred Hartley takes the powerful principles of personal revival from his masterful God on Fire and applies them where they are so desperately needed – the local church. The book’s day-by-day approach never lets the reader go, never stops leading onto hallowed ground.”

“Church on Fire is deeply inspirational to the individual, the local church, and the church worldwide. Its strength comes from Fred knowing, loving and serving peoples in many countries. It plants hope for change that comes from encountering Christ Himself and what He can do though prayer. It is filled with profound thoughts and slogans, and moves from the personal to the corporate to the leadership to the world. Your prayer life will never be the same after reading it.”

—Imad Shehadeh, President, Jordan Evangelical Theological Seminary

“God on Fire is one of my favorite books, as it is one of the few books I have read multiple times. Church on Fire will accompany that book as a great tool and practical resource to seek the Lord.

—Dann Spader, Founder, Sonlife Ministries

“Fred Hartley over the years has produced some of the best helps on prayer for the local church. The book, Church on Fire, is his best. Fred Hartley has well received a Word to help in having a praying church. I rank it as one of the best I have ever read and heartily recommend it.”

—Terry Teykl, Founder, Pray for Renewal Ministries

“Have you ever been to the ‘upper room’ in the book of Acts? Ever wonder what it was like — the smell in the air, the sound of the prayers, and the fury of the Holy Spirit? Well, Church on Fire will take you there. As the third book in the On Fire series, Hartley turns his attention to the praying mission of the larger church — yes, that includes us all. In classic Hartley style, the book cuts quick and deep and leaves no soul in its comfort zone. Whether it is the direct challenge to pastors to answer the question of what God is doing versus what they are doing or the call for less prayer meetings and more receiving meetings or asking what separates the church from the sports bar down the street or the blunt truth that only prayer meetings reach people not board meetings or planning meetings, Church on Fire never backs down from relentlessly asking how the manifest presence of Christ is revealing itself in the church and its people. Hartley knows how to be practical and Church on Fire has a handbook feel with its step by step walk through issues like repentance and contrition or the beautiful power of simply agreeing in prayer with your spouse. Church on Fire? More like Church engulfed!”

—John Towriss, Principal, Envoy Strategy Group

“I love the heartbeat of Fred Hartley. Single-minded passion to see God move, the kind Fred demonstrates, is desperately needed in the church. This guide will help you walk your leaders through a step-by-step process to whet their appetites for the presence of God. May it bear fruit that remains!”

—Steven W. Smith, Professor of Communication

Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary

“Church on Fire is an amazing follow-up to Fred Hartley’s book, God on Fire. It gives pastors and leaders a great tool that will help bring real transformation to their congregations.

—Ron Walborn, Dean, Alliance Theological Seminary

—Bill Welte, President/CEO America’s Keswick
