Review

Draw Close to the Fire is starkly personal and authentic. Wardle shows us how to find God and our own wholeness by embracing emotional pain rather than running from it. In so doing he is not just telling us what works for him. He is standing on the shoulders of the wisest people in history. --Dr. Robert E. Coleman, Director, Billy Graham Institute on Evangelism, Wheaton College

One of two books (Keller's "King's Cross" being the other) that got me through the darkest weeks of my life. Written from the author's own experience with an emotional breakdown, this book from its beginning says things you need to hear (and that others often won't say.) Rather than trying to deaden the pain, this book counsels you not to squander your chance to learn things that can only be learned in the dark. A precious resource and a potential life-saver.

We so often want to avoid pain, but this book helps us as we Draw Near to the Fire of the healing presence of the Holy Spirit. Very thankful for this guide that helps along the journey of pain to carry us into a place of peace and joy through the healing presence of Jesus.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good content; poor editing
Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2017

The content of the book is great. It was just difficult at times to read the electronic version because of very poor editing. Several words ran together on nearly every page, making the flow of reading jerky and abrupt. Really sad given that the content is right on target.

The book itself is very helpful. However, the formatting on the Kindle version is so bad that it becomes a chore to read. I might have given up except that I was reading it in a group study
