In this lyrical and deeply personal memoir, Michael Charles Olson revisits the burnt beams and smoldering memories of his Pentecostal boyhood—where faith, fire, and fatherhood collide in unexpected ways. Told with humor, heartbreak, and hard-earned wisdom, Daddy Set the Church on Fire is a coming-of-age story set against the rhythm of worship music, the scent of burnt pews, and the aching complexity of a son learning to forgive a complicated father.

His strength was made perfect in my weakness," (2 Corinthians 12: 9).

Somewhere he could make a difference.

Su espíritu crítico y examinador puso contra las cuerdas todas las creencias de la Europa Medieval. Como nadie hasta entonces, desafió no sólo a la Iglesia Católica, sino también puso en la picota a calvinistas, luteranos, aristotélicos que anhelaban una retractación que no consiguieron pese a ser condenado a la hoguera.

One of the most famous figures in Christian history, Francis of Assisi (1181/82-1226) was revered as a miracle worker during his life and quickly canonized after his death. He has inspired generations of Christians and other spiritual seekers, from medieval ascetics to 1960s hippies and modern environmentalists.
