Running to the Fire

Helping in Jesus' Name

De: Ken Isaacs, Robert Noland, Franklin Graham - foreword

Narrado por: Ken Isaacs, Franklin Graham

How did a small-town boy with no experience become the “Indiana Jones of global relief” with one of the most effective humanitarian organizations in the world? Because God dreams bigger than we do.

Join Ken Isaacs on his personal journey from answering God’s “Are you serious?” call through three decades of boots-on-the-ground stories showing us how to be a Good Samaritan no matter where we are. Offering a fascinating behind-the-scenes look into the incredible work of Samaritan’s Purse, this action-packed memoir takes us from the 1989 Ethiopian famine to the 1994 Rwandan genocide to the 2011 Japanese tsunami up to today’s worldwide crises—and the countless decisions, dangers, and prayers along the way.

With reflections drawn from Scripture and decades of ministry, Running to the Fire is a testimony to God’s goodness as well as a call to live boldly, love radically, and trust deeply in the God who guides us not away from the fire but through it.

Features bonus content only available in the audiobook—including a special word from Franklin Graham plus a presentation by Ken Isaacs on the global mission of Samaritan's Purse.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“This book is as fun and adventurous as the author himself. I would travel anywhere with Ken Isaacs because he’s like a cross between MacGyver and Ethan Hunt in the Mission Impossible series—he’s a troubleshooter, a fixer, a strategic analyst, and highly adaptable to any situation. Running to the Fire takes you on his harrowing journeys across the globe into some of modern history’s worst catastrophes—both natural and man-made—to show you how Christ’s love can transform people and nations. This book will challenge you to put your own faith on the line to see the same transformation in the lives around you.”―Skip Heitzig, senior pastor at Calvary Church, Albuquerque; board member of Samaritan’s Purse

“Kenney is the most fascinating person I have ever met and has helped thousands and thousands of people. I have traveled with him and have seen the work firsthand. This book powerfully tells much of the story. Fabulous, so beautifully written.”―Greta Van Susteren, 30-year award-winning news anchor

“Running to the Fire is exciting to read and deeply biblically instructed. This book takes it to another dimension with its globe-trotting narrative of faith and action. Isaacs tells how commitment of faith changes his life and helps millions. Read this book.”―Mike Pompeo, former Secretary of State

Informative and inspiring.

Mr. Isaacs book about his life's work with Samaritan's Purse was thoughtfully written. The narration was heartfelt. Provided a great historical context for word events and NGOs, but most importantly how God worked in the life and through the hands of a willing servant.

Behind the scene at Samaritan Purse

I’ve known Kenny for 46 years and have understood that he isn’t the normal guy you meet on the street ! His commitment to our Lord Jesus and his love for his family have truly been revealed within the pages of this book . It’s quite amazing what he has experienced and survived in order to assist our fellow man in the name of our Savior Jesus Christ. I’m glad to call him my Brother in our Lord Jesus as well as my friend . Al Sumner 09/15/25

Powerful and Moving!

This book gave me a deep appreciation for the mission and the sacrifices made to share hope in some of the hardest places on earth. It’s not just a history, it’s a challenge to live with boldness and faith.
Highly recommend.
