Heart Fire: Adventuring into a Life of Prayer

Review“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 Heart Fire, 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 Published On: 2018-08-02“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 Published On: 2018-08-02“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 Published On: 2018-08-02“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 Published On: 2018-08-02“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. Heart Fire 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 Published On: 2018-08-02“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 Published On: 2018-08-02“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 Published On: 2018-08-02“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 tak
