Publisher's summary

"Is it "Christianity meets Burning Man," "Richard Rohr meets Russell Brand," or "Communion Wafers meet Psychedelic Spirituality"?

Yes! This and more—all coming together in Roger Wolsey’s Discovering Fire. Igniting a spiritual expansion that bridges religious and non-religious sensibilities, this is a deep and intimate dive into a profusion of spiritual practices. Promoting diversity, respect, and a deeper connection with the Divine, Roger explores the intersections of Christianity with shadow-work, dream work, the Enneagram, yoga, astrology, tarot cards, shamanism, ecstatic dance, psychedelic plants, and more.

With passion, cultural sensitivity, grounding in tradition, and the heart of an explorer Roger offers a go-to guide for the 21st century seeker, be they religious, spiritual, or anywhere along the spectrum of that human experience of longing for healing encounters with the Mystery some call God.

In Discovering Fire, Roger Wolsey, author of Kissing Fish: Christianity for people who don’t like Christianity, reduces the mutual allergy and wariness that religious and non-religious people have about each other. He helps religious people realize that God is meaningfully at work through certain spiritual practices that many non-religious people are engaging in; and he also helps non-religious people acknowledge that certain Christian practices really can help those believers grow, transform, and evolve in ways that the world needs—and he helps people from both groups increase their appreciation and gratitude for the Great Spirit at work in it all.

Roger helps people within the Church to better understand how their family and friends who aren’t part of “the faith” are experiencing practices that connect them to the presence of Spirit in their lives—and are helping them to heal, grow, and thrive; and he helps the growing portion of society who have apprehension about Christianity appreciate how contemplative practices within it provide time-tested ways their Christian friends and family might employ to sense the vital presence of Spirit in their lives—and help them to heal, grow, and thrive. Discovering Fire helps the different traditions, lineages, and generations respect, connect, and commune with each other and the Divine—and share the planet with greater ease.

Yay Progressive Christianity

Thank God someone had the courage to share their personal struggles, spiritual experiences and conflicting issues regarding contemporary Christianity. Through the sharing of his life story and inner journey Roger affirmed many of the spiritual practices I have been doing (writing poetry, artwork, composing music, nature awe walks). I enjoyed learning about a diversity of spiritual practices that I had not yet encountered. This book is an edifying banquet of spiritual food. I gobbled it up.
