As the embers in our hearts are stirred, just one spark, can ignite a flame and when that flame is fanned by the breath of God, we can believe for an inferno of revived hearts. And that is my prayer, for personally revived hearts, set on fire for Jesus all across the world, reverberating the atmosphere with songs of praise. Join me on my personal journey of awakening and intercession to see myself and others encounter personal restoration to Jesus.
Reviews
Holmes interlaces her love of music with the Christian faith in this encouraging and interactive debut. She focuses primarily on her home country of Australia, though her insights, scriptures, and personal anecdotes are fashioned for readers across the globe to “cultivate a deeper and more intimate connection with our ever-living God.” She ends each chapter with Christian song choices that reflect its main topics and includes her “intercessory playlist” at the book’s beginning, encouraging readers to view the music as “powerful prayers” capable of “transforming your heart and the atmosphere around you.” Readers will find this a safe, welcoming space to embark on their own personal Christian journey.

"Our world seems to blur the lines between truth and falsehood, and many hearts have grown cold," Holmes asserts of contemporary times, as she implores readers to prioritize God’s presence in their lives. The narrative is built on themes of faith, perseverance, and open-minded acceptance, all thoughtfully unfolding through Holmes’s stories of her childhood, adult life with her husband and children, and business ventures focused on spreading the Christian message. Holmes’s advice to readers includes constructing a War Room—a room dedicated to purposeful prayer, “to engage with Him personally and in spiritual warfare through prayer for [your] loved ones”—and interceding for leadership across every nation. She also dedicates time to explaining the Bible’s description of “the state of the world in the end times.”

Ultimately, this is an uplifting reminder for Christian readers to reach out to those suffering from loss and despair while cultivating a deep spirituality in their own lives. Holmes offers direct prayers for freedom, peace, and restoration, alongside her own powerful living testimony, as she explores her mission to spread the gospel, even through challenging hardships and moments of tragedy. This interactive resource is perfect for Christian readers seeking to invigorate their own faith walk.

Takeaway: Christian-based meditation on cultivating a relationship with God.
