Readers of Devotions on F.I.R.E. will journey through the complete Bible in one year by reading assigned daily Scriptures from both the Old and New Testaments. Each day also includes a short devotion based on Dr. Ken Burge's F.I.R.E. method of Bible study. F.I.R.E. stands for: 
Familiarity. Learn to ask probing questions and become acquainted with each passage.
Interpretation. Determine the intended meaning of the text.
Relationship. Consider the passage within its context of the book and beyond, to the whole Scripture.
Employment. Consider how God can employ you to do His will through your new understanding of the text.
The F.I.R.E. method and the daily devotions will help readers remember and apply what they read as they fuel the fire in their hearts for God's Word.
"As a pastor, I find Dr. Ken Burge's material an excellent resource for sermon preparation, and as a believer, I am challenged and encouraged in my walk with King Jesus. I am thrilled that he has penned this daily devotional! Your heart will be thrilled, too, as you make this a part of your daily journey with our Savior!"
--Dr. Tony L. Wilson, White Oak Baptist Church, Chattanooga, Tennessee
"Whether you're well-disciplined in your daily devotions or just beginning, Devotions on F.I.R.E. will open your understanding and application of Scripture in a most profound way."
--Maria J. Keyser, Principal Solutions Consultant, SAS Institute Inc.
"I highly recommend Devotions on F.I.R.E. to everyone who desires to read through the Bible in one year and employ the practical daily application of the text."
--Joshua K. Burge, Senior Advisor -- Treasury, Deacon, Youth Leader, and Pianist at the Colmar Manor Bible Church

Relationships

Every woman yearns to be beautiful both inside and out and yet we can't seem to find the magic formula. So many solutions are available at our fingers tips, yet our souls seem emptier than ever. From the day we come into this world, our need for love and affirmation is so great that we instinctively manipulate people to love us and rescue us from our pain. Despite the unparalleled opportunities for freedom, happiness and fulfillment available to women, many continue to stay mired in depression, anger and hopelessness. To protect our heart, we have learned to lock away our natural God-given beauty by pretending to be the person the world would approve of. Sadly, we have lost our magnificent true self along the way. God created us in His image, and the essence of God is beauty; therefore, you and I are beautiful. It is already there; we just need to allow the touch of God to reveal it to us and unleash it.

Beauty Unleashed: Transforming a Woman’s Soul

McLaughlin, Heidi

The summer Carol Keels arrived in Colombia, South America in 1971, she had visions of moving into a village of indigenous people, learning their language, translating the Bible into this language, writing primers and holding large literacy classes and then setting back to watching the whole village be transformed by God's love. Four years later, the Keels still had no one even willing to help them learn the language. This is an engaging, first person account of triumphs, discouragements, bats, and snakes. It is a life uncommon to most but the quiet faith, steadfast commitment and true courage of Carol's story makes it relatable to all. A common misconception is that missionaries are somehow more spiritual, more holy, and thus are put on a pedestal. Without Him, we are nothing, but in Christ, our life can be a great adventure if we step out of our comfort zone and into His plan for us. Whatever the challenge, daily life requires from all of us our faith and dependence on our Lord is we are to be victorious.

The Journey to Truth reveals what author George F. Garlick, PhD believes are new insights into the physical and spiritual realities of our world. The book chronicles Garlick's personal quest to reconcile what he believes as biblical truths with his own scientific knowledge. Readers will be captivated by the author's frank narrative as he poignantly draws parallels between scriptural references and modern scientific discoveries, such as the Big Bang, Einstein's theory of relativity, Superstring, the 5th Dimension and the nature of light. The appeal for readers of The Journey to Truth is in Garlick's honest account of his personal struggle to accept faith in the face of a successful scientific career. His story is one of success and failure, but his profound connection between science and theology is both overwhelming and humbling. According to Garlick, "By using our mind to explore the mysteries of the universe, we can achieve a better understanding or our relationship with God."

After 13 years as the leader of the Promise Keepers movement, Coach Bill McCartney found what he believes to be the priority in the racial reconciliation movement. His new found passion lead to the establishment of a new ministry called "The Road to Jerusalem" that seeks to reconcile Jewish believers and Gentile believers worldwide. In Two Minute Warning McCartney unveils the approaching revolutions that God is bringing to His church and how we can adapt to them and embrace them. Each of these revolutions has to do with the Christian church being thrust together with the Jew in the coming days. The last revolution-Provision-is a wonderful promise of God's end time protection and provision for any gentile Christian willing to embrace Jews in their end time plight. He uses John 17:20-21 to illustrate that the key to world evangelism is the reconciliation of Jewish and Gentile believers and that until the two are united, God's power can never be fully expressed in the earth. Although the support of Israel receives broad acceptance from the Christian community, this timely message goes a step beyond and gives a biblical mandate for the Church to support the believing Jew, not just the national and political entity of Israel. The book is co-written by Aaron Fruh, a two-time published author with Baker Publishing Group.
