Ed and Janice Hird have recently published another book together - God’s Firestarters - where you’ll discover little-known followers of Christ who confronted unspeakable evil, performed extraordinary deeds, started remarkable revivals, and changed the world.
Here are some endorsements for their book:
I encourage you to not only read this God’s Firestarter book, but even other books written by the same authors. Just one example, "Celebrating the differences" as enrichment instead of taking them as issues. I bless you, Ed+ and Janice, as you use your gift of writing.
-- The Most Rev Kolini Musaba Emmanuel (Rtd. Archbishop of Rwanda).
When the sun’s light hits a gem at just the right angle, it catches our eye, it sparkles, it draws us closer. Ed and Janice Hird have caught these gems of the Faith in just the right perspective, heartfelt relationships with spouse and God, for them to shine for us and fill our hearts with hope and hopefully, close enough for fire.
-- The Right Rev’d Carl Buffington, New Covenant Church, Winter Spring, Florida, Anglican Mission International
This is a book this world desperately needs! As it says in the book of Jude verse 3, "I felt compelled to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to God's holy people." Thank you, Dr. Ed and Janice for giving your readers to know how the Holy Spirit kindled the fire of those holy people in the past several hundred years through their witness of their family, especially relationships of husbands and wives in the twenty chapters to set on fire so many people to live for Jesus that He is our Lord and King. And, most important, to set us on FIRE!
-- Rt. Rev. Dr. Silas Ng (Chief Bishop, Anglican Mission in Canada)
Ed and Janice Hird create a spirit of excitement and expectancy in “God’s Firestarters” with their realistic portrayal of giants who moved the church in the Spirit. Revival through fiery preaching, yes, Holy Spirit anointing, yes, but also with roots in family life, marriage tensions, quirks and tempers, faith, much prayer, service, learning, study, holy and sacrificial living. The united picture gives us a sense of what it would take to know God’s visitation very realistically sparked among us today.
-- Bishop Alf Cooper (Chile)
Spiritual Fire-starters are people lovers, risk takers, tireless workers and servant leaders who are characterized by wet eyes, bent knees and a humble spirit crying for revival. This is what this book is all about, and the anointing Rev Dr Ed & Janice Hird carry. I highly endorse this book.
-- The Rev Dr Medad Birungi Zinomuhangi, PhD, Founder & President of World Shine Ministries, Uganda
As always, you have outdone yourself, giving us hope that God will raise up new fire-starters in our day to push back the flames of temptation and plagues of corruption. I would highly recommend that everyone pick up a copy of this book and be inspired by the lives of ordinary people who were filled with their extraordinary God and accomplished huge things. You have always acted with a prophetic calling to awaken people to what is possible with God working in and through them. This is just another book in your storied career that will ignite numerous people to trust God for bigger things than they were prepared for. When we forget the past, we are weaker in the present and nonexistent in the future.
-- Dr. Gil Stieglitz, author of Building a Ridiculously Great Marriage and Wise Parenting.
