Play with Fire, the debut book by popular speaker and teacher Bianca Juarez Olthoff, is the reminder that God isn't waiting until you have more resources or a spouse or a job so he can use you. He's ready to use you now. Using the mythical creature, the Phoenix, which was also referenced by early church leaders, she parallels this story with God's work in her own life, highlighting the beauty of reinvention with fire as both the impetus and the method for change. Olthoff reminds us that we serve a God who is redemptive and can ... Read moretake the worst situations and use them for His glory. Play With Fire is a bible-infused message that will help women discover: The way out of the middle is moving forward The personal and powerful nature of the Holy Spirit The power and sacrifice of transformation The unique calling and purpose of life involves transformation With Olthoff's distinct style, strong storytelling gifts, and powerful bible teaching, Play with Fire will remind readers that God has huge dreams for them. In Bianca's words, He's whispering in the wind and speaking through the fire and shouting in silence the extraordinary dream He is birthing in you. His dream for you is far greater than the dream you have for yourself. It's not your identity or income or influence that will make this happen. Like Zechariah 4:6 says, 'It's not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the Lord. It's time to play with fire. Show Less

I love this book written by my fiery Puerto Rican sister, Bianca! Her transparent stories will stir your passion and position you to f lourish amid the fires of chaos, exhaustion, and confusion.
-Lisa Bevere, Messenger International, bestselling author of Lioness Arising, Kissed the Girls and Made Them Cry, and Fight Like a Girl
When someone reads Bible Scriptures regarding fire, they usually interpret them within the context of sin or damnation. However, Bianca's clear voice in Play with Fire is carefully crafted to convey God's holy presence and the divine power to change the inner life of sincere seekers desiring a radical change. As her father and pastor, I am wholesomely proud of her work! I've witnessed my daughter transform into a woman of strength and integrity, and that is nothing short than going through a refining fire.
-Pancho Juarez, Pastor, Calvary Chapel, Montebello, California
Having the privilege of being one of Bianca's best friends since high school, I saw firsthand how she has loved, lived, and led as Jesus did. Her book, Play with Fire, brings a real, transparent truth with a splash of her quirky sense of humor. These are a few of the qualities that I love about her! I pray this book will ignite a fire in your life and encourage you to trust the Lord through the flames and enter into your own Promised Land in full faith.
-Jennie Finch, USA Olympic Softball Gold Medalist
Change and transformation isn't easy, but using her personal story and the stories of others throughout the Bible, Bianca shares with us ways to not only survive the flames of life, but THRIVE in the midst of trials. As a mentor and guide in her life, I'm excited that Bianca shares her journey to help others become the people God has called them to be through understanding the power of the Holy Spirit. Not only has Bianca written about the transforming power of God, she has lived it out.

En fuego! Bianca is on fire. Her words form a pathway

-to freedom and transformation. Her raw honesty and unwavering belief in God's plan for your life is contagious, and I'm excited to see how this book sparks a wildfire of faith.
-Jen Hatmaker, speaker and New York Times bestselling author of For the Love
Bianca, thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing your story as well as the truths you've discovered along the way. This book is a treasure. If you're experiencing a struggle, desire to know God on a more passionate level, or simply want to be encouraged, you've found the perfect book!
-Kari Jobe
Everyone needs a friend like Bianca. I'm certain my mind would explode if I had two. She isn't afraid to run with knives, grab her knees and jump off big cliffs, or see how thick the ice is by running out on it. She also isn't afraid to live her life as if God's promises are really true, rather than a bunch of right- sounding doctrine we interact with by just agreeing. This isn't just a book about Bianca's journey. It's an invitation to yours. It's not a trail of bread crumbs Bianca is giving us, it's a box of matches. She dares us to light the first one, throw it back in the box we've made of our faith, and see what happens next.
