Publisher's Synopsis
"GOD INSIDE THE FIRE: An Amazing True Story" is a dazzling supernatural journey, a personal voyage of spiritual discovery, a photo documented treasure box of the impossible. Step aboard for the trip of a lifetime. . . Joni is no stranger to miracles. Her prayers and even her dreams have a habit of coming true. Her husband is regularly amazed by her strong faith and her premonitions: "I had a dream, Greg. There's going to be a fire. I saw Kathy and Frank in the middle of it." Frank Scalari is a physicist. Frank, his wife Kathy, and their four children, along with their horses, goats and chickens, have just moved onto their new five acre ranch high in the Cuyamaca Mountains, 60 miles northeast of San Diego. On October 25th, 2003, the ravenous Cedar Fire sweeps down into San Diego on strong Santa Ana winds. Two days later, the largest firestorm in California history reverses course and takes direct aim at the Scalari family's ranch. By 9:00 p.m. Tuesday evening, flames the size of skyscrapers are climbing the steep western face directly below the Scalari's ranch. Joni, and Danielle, her 9-year-old daughter, each pray for a miracle. They're praying for more than just a horse ranch-they're praying to open their friends' hearts and minds to the reality of God. The impossibilities within this amazing true story will astound you. If you look, you just may find. . .GOD INSIDE THE FIRE. "I CRIED & CRIED as I read this powerful true story.
