About the Book Fire Women

Book: Fire Women

Author: Joanna Sanders

Genre: Non-fiction

Release Date: October, 2019

Combining biblical instruction and discipleship, Fire Women is a testimony to the powerful benefits of submitting even the most intense desires to the authority of Jesus Christ. It’s an intimate view of a woman with almost-untamable passion and the God who delivered her to live the passionate life she truly desired.

Having been married twice, Joanna candidly reveals a stark contrast between her two marriages, as well as the impact of her choices through three decades of being burned—and nearly destroyed—by the desire of the flesh. In hopes to inspire passionate women to godly living, Joanna shares practical applications from the difficult lessons learned within an intense five-year refining period between marriages and an honest account of a landscape laid ruin by a life of sin. Written from the perspective of one fiery woman to another, readers will hear of the worth of living God’s way, the importance of dying to self, the true measure of passion in God’s eyes, and that not all flame is bad . . .

My Thoughts on Fire Women:

Okay, first, I blushed a lot.  This is not a topic that is talked about a lot here in my rural little area.  Now, don’t get me wrong, I do chat all things taboo with a friend or two but they’re amazingly good friends.  I didn’t feel that the author was an amazingly good friend and so it felt awkward to even read some of it.

That said, this is a great book.  It’s a great resource for people who might have come to Christ as adults or someone wanting to start off on the right foot.  The book talks about how to stay sexually pure before marriage. It also chats about all things sex.  I love that it uses scripture to back everything up and sends you to the Bible to read and understand.

This would be a good book to work together with other women as a study.  The author describes herself as passionate.  I can agree with her there.  But I myself am not a passionate person.  I may feel passionately about certain things but no one is going to know it unless I let them in on it probably.  I’m a very quiet and reserved person.

The author goes all out with this book and lets you get down to the nitty-gritty with her by sharing her own life.  She’s very bold and treats the book as a conversation.

I can say I would recommend the book but that I don’t think I would personally have picked the book up on my own if it hadn’t been given to me to review.  Even with it being a review book I definitely did a lot of pick up and read a bit, sit it down and walk away, come back and read, etc.  It was not a book  I could just sit and read through.  There is so much in this that requires thought!

I have voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from Celebrate Lit. All views expressed are only my honest opinion. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. All opinions expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the FTC regulations.

More from Joanna

My parents named me after a song about a woman who consumed her lover in such a way that even long after she had left him, he continued to find glory in the short, but intense way she had loved him. It was like my parents knew I would love with a fierceness that could not be contained, that would subject me—and those around me—to a thousand deaths by my own hand. They knew before I was born. This has been a long journey.

I spent many years trying to figure out my intense passion, wrestling with it, even trying to extinguish it by choking out its oxygen. I didn’t realize there was indeed a healthy place for it. In fact, I felt like each time I looked around this world, I could only see that there was no place for it where it wouldn’t set flame to those around it as well.

I hadn’t viewed my intense passion so much as a gift before, especially since it got me in more and more trouble as I followed it. But now I see it as a gift. My passion is what has driven me to finish this book and, God willing, hopefully, inspire you with my testimony. My passion is what gives me endurance and drive to persevere, to finish well in all areas of my walk, and to meet Him at the finish line.

If you are a passionate woman like me, join me in the journey. I can’t wait to show you how I learned, and Who I learned was able to handle my passion. The same road is waiting for you.

    I wish I’d known about books like this when I was younger. I always felt so out of place when my friends were active, yet I saved myself for marriage.

      This would be a good one to gift to younger girls for sure.
