The evangelistic focus of the Southern Baptist Convention has diminished, creating unprecedented challenges.  In Fuel the Fire, Chuck Kelley intends to start a conversation. A denomination accustomed to the inevitability of growth is in the grip of decline. By remembering the evangelistic strategies and core convictions that have strengthened the Southern Baptist Convention since its humble beginnings, and by cultivating the theological focus that enhances modern-day evangelistic engagement, readers will find new urgency in carrying out the work of evangelism. Kelley emphasizes that strategies are important; however, our efforts are in vain apart from a stirring of the Holy Spirit.

The island of Crete was a tough place. It was to the Roman world what the urban ghettos and favelas of today's great cities are to our neighborhoods. Paul needed a young missionary with energy, zeal, wisdom, determination, faith, and courage to embark on a mission to the fabled but fateful home of the Minotaur and the mythological birthplace of Zeus. Charged with the task of finding elders for the churches and grounding these churches in the faith of the Apostles was the unenviable task given to a driven, passionate young preacher named Titus. The instruction of the missionary-theologian Paul to one of his sons in the ministry beckons the reader to follow into the Labyrinth of Crete and see that in both the first century and in the contemporary urban setting, God's redemptive grace is adequate to change both life and eternity.
