Light and Fire Book

aces Morris's development as a remarkable Christian leader from his childhood connection with God to his continuing efforts to help individuals discern God's will in their lives and experience the healing power of humor. After a long, successful series of pastorates, each involving significant growth, he was invited to the Methodist headquarters. From there Morris created the Living Prayer Center, the Upper Room Program Unit which he led for sixteen years, and the Academy for Spiritual Formation, for which he has served as executive director for twenty years. He helped initiate the Walk to Emmaus movement, helped birth a United Methodist-Benedictine monastery, and developed the Discernment Network for "A New Kind of Church," which involves representatives from more than six hundred churches. An appendix features a list of questions for each chapter that invite readers to reflect on their own spiritual journeys.
