How do we know God and become known by God? All Flame invites us into the wild mystery of the triune God with conversational charm and disarming simplicity.
Brady Boyd
Andrew Arndt has unearthed a tremendous amount of truth and revelation in this timely book. Andrew is serious but fun and scholarly but approachable in these pages. His words are sharp, penetrating, and much needed. You will follow Jesus better after reading this.

All Flame may very well be the invitation into intimacy with God your soul has been longing to receive. So many guides to Christian spirituality unwittingly distance the one they are seeking to introduce—through inaccessible mysticism, unattainable pietism, or uninspiring intellectualism—but All Flame celebrates the wonderful proximity of God for every single one of us. I particularly appreciate its Trinitarian approach, its rich biographical examples, and above all— its grace.

Andrew writes from a depth of biblical and personal experience, mining the riches buried within the joys and sorrows of life, bringing forth the burning glory of a life set fire by the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

What if the most difficult elements of our livesour pain, our confusion, our times of spiritual darkness or aridnessactually hold the most promise? In highly readable language, Andrew Arndt combs Scripture, historical Christian witness, his own experience, and three striking contemporary examples to make a compelling case for the redemptive power of suffering. I read All Flame in one mesmerized sitting and finished with a sense that something had shifted within me. All Flame is an important book. Read, and be changed.

Andrew Arndt’s pastoral heart burns through these pages, bringing to light the goodness of resting in the presence of Father, Son, and Spirit. At a time when Christians are often exhorted to find their identity “in Christ alone,” Andrew reminds us to appreciate the vital ministry of each person of the triune God. And he calls us into the grace of the dying life, into the self-surrender that is a hallmark of every season lived within God’s Kingdom. Wise, gentle, and incisive, Andrew navigates the spiritual terrain with an awareness that even in the darkness, even when we feel forsaken, there is still flame, nourishing a longing to be united to that holy presence.

The ongoing project of spiritual formation requires an intentional integration with the mystery of the triune God. The very nature of God points to the ways we need to be formed. Yet this kind of integration can be difficult for many to present. Enter Andrew Arndt. Andrew is a pastor and thinker who has an uncanny ability to make complicated things accessible. This book is textured and nuanced, and it will provide you with a beautiful framework to become all flame. I highly recommend it.

The most important thing in life, said Dallas Willard, is to develop deep friendship with the Holy Trinity. This book by Andrew Arndt serves as the perfect guide into the depths. There’s no doubt in my mind that All Flame will serve as a sort of burning-bush experience for many.
Phileena Heuertz
Herein lies the passion of a contemplative—one who is devoted to the mysterious relationship of God and humanity. This book will inspire you to deepen your faith and give you courage to travel with the Holy Spirit where you’ve dared not venture before.
Charlie Self
We may have discovered a worthy successor to the late Eugene Peterson. Without any condescension, we are invited to join Andrew on a journey into the love, holiness, and unity of the Trinity and the paradoxical power of being a devoted follower of Jesus.
Catherine McNiel
With All Flame, Andrew has written my very favorite sort of book: telling stories to explore ideas we often consider too complex and inaccessible. Andrew explores Bible stories, Kingdom stories, and real-life stories, and the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit seem close enough to touch. Read this book, find yourself in these stories, and encounter the flame of God’s presence right here.

Pastors whose lives exude the love of God are far rarer than they should be. Andrew Arndt is one such pastor, and when you read All Flame, you’ll understand why. This book will make you think, but more importantly, it will expand your soul.
