Kiss the Fire: 7 Ways to Get Back Up When You Want to Give Up

If you are struggling and just want to give up, author and pastor Shawn Johnson will show you how to find the strength to hold on, face the flames, and keep fighting to find the purpose in your pain.

When life turns up the heat and everything inside of you wants to give up, will you face the flames? Will you keep the faith? Will you believe that there is still good to be found? Will you keep fighting until God does the miraculous? Pastor Shawn Johnson found himself asking these questions after he received a devastating diagnosis that rocked him to his core and stole his hopes for the future. He was ready to end it all until his friend and fighting coach told Shawn that he would walk with him every step of the way and knew he was going to be okay because “you’re going to kiss the fire and walk away whistling.” Those words stuck with Shawn and came to symbolize his approach to fighting against the waves of anxiety, hopelessness, and fear that felt overwhelming.

As he continued to fight, Shawn discovered that it’s possible to live life to the fullest, even when it really hurts, and in Kiss the Fire he’ll share

• the three reasons why you need to keep fighting instead of giving up, • the seven strategies you need to have to kiss the fire and walk away whistling, and • why recognizing that God has a plan—even if you don’t immediately know what it is—changes everything.

Shawn shows us how to cultivate a fighting spirit and face the spiritual, physical, and emotional battles of our lives with determination and tenacity. It will get better. You can get through this. Nothing is impossible with God. So don’t give up now.
