Fire by Night

Fire by Night by Melissa Florer-Bixler is a book that explores the meaning and relevance of the Old Testament for Christians today. The author, a Mennonite pastor, challenges the common assumptions and stereotypes about the Old Testament as a violent, legalistic, and irrelevant text. She invites readers to discover the beauty, wisdom, and complexity of the stories, laws, and rituals that shaped the faith of Israel and Jesus. She shows how the Old Testament can inspire us to live more faithfully, creatively, and compassionately in our world today.
