The Light Giver

by Dale A. Fife, Johnny Enlow

Overview

Dr. Dale Fife, author of The Secret Place, takes readers on a visionary journey into the inner sanctum of God’s presence to experience the mysteries and revelation that Dr. Fife has found through intimate communion with the Father.
Moses encountered the light and fire of the burning bush. On their way to the Promised Land, the Israelites followed a pillar of smoke by day and a pillar of fire by night. The priests of God ministered in the temple with the flame of a lampstand as their only source of light. Jesus said, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life” (John 8:12).
God wants all believers to walk in that same light of supernatural revelation. He wants you to transcend human limitations and access the divine realm. Open your spirit to receive fresh illumination, for you are about to have an intimate encounter with The Light Giver.

About the Author

Dr. Dale Arthur Fife is a gifted pastor, author, teacher, and musician with an insatiable passion for intimacy with God. His zeal for the Lord has led him on an incredible journey from his first pastorate of a small rural church in a coal-mining town outside of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, to the co-founding of a large multiracial inner-city church in Pittsburgh. After five decades of ministry experience and increasing requests from others for mentoring and ministry relationships, Dale and his wife, Eunice, founded Mountain Top Global Ministries, a network of pastors, ministries, businesses, and leaders with local, regional, and international impact.
From leading worship in the mid-seventies at the first outdoor Jesus Festivals, which numbered over 50,000, to serving in his present ministry, speaking in churches, conferences, colleges, and gatherings for leaders and intercessors, Dale has an enthusiastic hunger for God that is contagious. His wisdom, maturity, and genuine spiritual concern for others have caused many to regard him as a “spiritual father” in the Lord. His insightful teaching has inspired and blessed believers and leaders in many nations.
“Doctor D,” as he is affectionately called, graduated summa cum laude from the University of Pittsburgh. He completed seminary studies at Boston University School of Theology and did graduate study at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. The Doctor of Divinity degree was conferred upon him by New Life College in Bangalore, India.
His best-selling books, The Secret Place: Passionately Pursuing God’s Presence, The Hidden Kingdom: Journey into the Heart of God, and Spirit Wind: The Ultimate Adventure, continue to bless and encourage thousands of people around the world to seek a closer walk with Jesus.
Dale and Eunice were married in 1963, and they have two sons and six grandchildren. They now live in Florida, where Dale serves as the apostolic pastor of SonPointe Church, a growing congregation in Bradenton. The Fifes travel throughout the world proclaiming the good news of God’s kingdom and encouraging the body of Christ to passionately pursue God’s presence.
Dr. Fife is available for speaking engagements upon request. He can be contacted at [e-mail]. For more information regarding available resources and itinerary, or to schedule Dr. Fife for ministry at your church or event, log on to www.SonPointeChurch.org.

As I finished reading The Light Giver, a resounding “Wow!” came out of my mouth. The revelation that broke open in my spirit filled me with expectant hope for future encounters in that “secret place”! Dr. Fife is truly a twenty-first-century “son of Issachar.” With anointing flowing through his pen, he opens portals that transcend time and space. I found myself walking with wonder and awe in the middle of his God visions. My heart was ignited with a burning to run through the walls of distraction and spend time with the Lover of my soul. The understanding of time, light, and history that Dr. Fife shares will inspire you to transcend this world into the dimensions of kingdom living. The God-given illuminations serve as a clarion call to emerge from the shadows and live in the glorious presence of our Lord.
—Rev. Janet Shell
 


Every once in a while, you find a book that goes beyond fascinating to inspiring. It makes you want to put the book down, not because it loses your attention but because you can no longer refrain from doing the very thing the author is describing. This is such a book. The visions and wisdom shared by Dr. Fife in The Light Giver will captivate you. More important, you will find yourself wanting to run to the “secret place” to enjoy Jesus for yourself! From the beginning of the book, describing the excitement of serving as a temple priest, to the final pages, in which Dr. Fife shares keys to resting in God’s presence and hearing Him speak, I realized how easily I get distracted from the main thing. All I want to do is run to the “secret place,” again and again!
—Weston Brooks


A central ethos of the human spirit is to seek the basis of reality. The Christian worldview boldly states that there is but one true reality. The Light Giver reveals how intimacy with the Creator can be achieved by revelation, vision, and discernment through the light of Christ. It is a prescription for those who struggle to draw nearer to the true source of light. Rather than just another volume on polemic theology, The Light Giver is a captivating unveiling of Dr. Fife’s journey toward a closer relationship with the Author of true reality, a journey that God intends for all of us to embark upon.
—Thomas Warren, M.D.


This book quickly pulls the reader into the adventurous domain of knowing and experiencing God. Dale uses the power of story to kindle within us a vision for what intimacy with God could really be like. Open the curtain and step inside.
—Bob Sorge, Author, Exploring Worship


The Light Giver is a book desperately needed by God’s people today. Like a multifaceted diamond, it contains numerous glistening, light-reflecting elements. It’s a supernatural revelation, but it’s more than that. It’s an incredibly insightful Bible study, but it’s more than that, too. It’s a spiritual memoir of Dale’s own spiritual journey. I can safely say that you’ve never read a book like this one. In addition to learning things about the pathway to the heart of God and His biblical pattern in the wilderness tabernacle, you’ll glean remarkable insights from the realms of history, science, and philosophy. Through this book, The Light Giver Himself issues a powerful, personal invitation for you to come deeper into His presence than you’ve ever gone before. Accept His invitation, and your life will never be the same!
—Jim Buchan
