Synopsis: Rarely does a book come along with a story that God can and does answer-and is believable. Rarer still a story that is convincing. In June Volk's The God Who Answers By Fire, it is God who answers not by a fire that consumes but by fire that refines! Raised in New York City, living in affluent Connecticut, she and her family suddenly uprooted and moved to rural northern Minnesota, where the refining fire was required sometimes daily, sometimes hourly -- sometimes minute-by-minute. Her story is simple, funny, serious, heart-breaking, profound, and uplifting. The refining was steady, nurturing a flame that burned from within. It's one of a kind. By her life story and teaching, she exemplifies the ideal Messianic-Jew that other people can use as their model as they struggle with their lives and faiths. Finally, the author, by writing her story, reinforces the idea that it is completely acceptable for Jewish people to accept Yeshua (Jesus) as their Jewish Messiah and still maintain their Jewish identity. June Volk longs for the day when all of the Jewish people come to faith in Yeshua and practice a life full of faith and love.
