Loving God with our head and heart so that we can truly know and experience him.
What would it look like to genuinely love God with our head AND our heart? To have a faith marked by right thinking AND right feeling? To know God deeply AND worship him passionately?
Too often, Christians act as though these things are at odds with one another. But what if God intends for us to possess a Christianity that is radically committed to biblical truth, in a way that did not diminish the life of the heart, but actually intensified it?
Adam Ramsey invites us to engage both our minds and our emotions in our walk with God as we gaze at him until our hearts sing. He sums it up like this:
“My hope in these following pages is to paint a biblical portrait of what God is actually like, so that we can gaze upon him together until our hearts can’t help but sing. To behold him in such a way that our daily experience is transformed with a deepened awareness of who it is we pray to, who it is that is with us, and who it is that we are loved by. To let God’s truth set our hearts on fire.”
If you yearn for God but desire a clearer biblical picture of this God whom you love, or if you have been walking with God for a while now, but your experience of him has become settled or dry, then this book is for you.

Jen Wilkin, Author, None Like Him, In His Image and Ten Words to Live By
“Adam Ramsey believes that how we think about God should shape how we experience him. I couldn’t agree more. This exquisite book is devotional writing in its purest sense, an invitation not just to know the God of the universe more deeply, but to be overcome in the knowing. Truth on Fire compels us to bow our hearts, to experience and exhibit the reverence that beholding God yields. Read it to think, and read it to feel. Herein is a feast for head and heart.”
Jared C. Wilson, Assistant Professor of Pastoral Ministry; Author in Residence, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary; Author, The Imperfect Disciple
“I believe that the way people truly change is by truly beholding the glory of the Lord. This is why I’m exceedingly thankful for Adam Ramsey’s book. Chapter by chapter, with biblical depth and pastoral wisdom, he lifts our gaze up to contemplate the majesty of God. You will find both truth and Spirit in this rich work.”
Sam Storms, PhD Lead Pastor of Preaching and Vision, Bridgeway Church, Oklahoma City, OK
“‘Head vs. Heart.’ ‘Feelings vs. Facts.’ ‘Mind vs. Emotion.’ ‘Doctrine vs. Delight.’ ‘Truth vs. Affection.’ Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could replace the ‘vs.’ with ‘and’? In this book, Adam Ramsey has done just that. is an excellent defense of the absolute necessity of a both/and when it comes to our knowledge and experience of God. You need not live in fear that theological depth will quench the Spirit, nor that heartfelt passion will turn you soft on doctrine. Get this book and let Adam show you why. Highly recommended!”
Sam Allberry, Pastor, Apologist, Author, What God Has to Say about Our Bodies
“We should never have to choose between theological care and spiritual reality, but in so many churches those seem to be the only two alternatives. Adam Ramsey shows us how false that choice is, inviting us instead into a theologically robust, spiritually life-giving, and above all exciting vision of the Christian life. We badly need this, so I’m deeply thankful for this book and hope it will galvanise countless churches and Christians into whole-hearted and whole-headed life with God.”
