Speaking out of his long experience as a hospital chaplain, Virgil M. Fry weaves together poems, prayers, and reflections on faith with searing metaphors of fire to speak to those in need of hope and comfort. Each of us needs a warm hearth, Fry writes, one that accepts, sustains, comforts, guides, and loves us. Fire reflects a God who, more than anything, invites us home. Readers will feel that warmth in this beautifully packaged book.
