Book Review: Discovering Fire: Spiritual Practices that Transform Lives by Roger Wayne Wolsey

In Discovering Fire: Spiritual Practices that Transform Lives, Roger Wayne Wolsey offers a heartfelt and deeply personal guide to spiritual growth. Drawing from his extensive experience as a spiritual director, Wolsey invites readers into his own spiritual journey, sharing personal reflections and insights that enrich the book.

Wolsey weaves together practices from a variety of religious traditions, including Christianity, Buddhism, and earth-based spirituality, while grounding them in his own lived experience. This combination of personal history and spiritual practice gives the book a unique depth. His own transformative experiences serve as a guide, helping readers connect more deeply with the practices he shares, from contemplative prayer to mindfulness and creative expression.
What sets Discovering Fire apart is not just its variety of spiritual tools, but Wolsey’s honest and vulnerable sharing of his own struggles and growth. His reflections on faith, doubt, and transformation invite readers to see their own spiritual journeys as fluid and evolving. This makes the book both practical and deeply human, offering readers more than just a set of practices, but a story of personal awakening.

Wolsey’s combination of personal history, practical wisdom, and inclusive approach makes this a book you’ll want to revisit again and again, finding new insights at every turn.
