Baptized by Blazing Fire is the first in a series of volumes that share supernatural testimonies and accounts of divine visitations, demonic manifestations, healings, and being filled with the Holy Spirit. Inspired to record some of the events that took place during the 30 days of consecutive prayer at The Lord's Church's 2005 revival in So-In Chon, Korea, pastor Kim Yong-Doo felt led to share his experiences and the experiences of his congregation with the world to help equip others in spiritual warfare and encourage them that revival can happen anywhere.

During 30 days of continual midnight prayer at a small Korean Church, the congregation experienced an unbelievable revival. With their hands raised up, and praying all night long, the congregation had their spiritual eyes opened as they experienced visions, healing, intense spiritual warfare, and transforming encounters with Jesus. There are 6 books in the series, this is book #2.

During 30 days of continual prayer at the Lord's Church in Seo Incheon, Korea, Pastor Yong-Doo Kim and his congregation experienced a revival that changed their lives. Equipping themselves daily with prayer and praise, the congregation had their spiritual eyes opened as they experienced healing, visions, intense spiritual warfare, and transforming encounters with Jesus. Among a host of the supernatural manifestations they experienced, a number of the congregants were also escorted on several visits to hell to see and report on the torments of hell. They Saw The Torments Of Hell is a compilation of their testimonies of the torments they saw in hell!

Given the degree of popular fascination with Gnostic religions, it is surprising how few pay attention to the one such religion that has survived from antiquity until the present day: Mandaism. Mandaeans, who esteem John the Baptist as the most famous adherent to their religion, have in our time found themselves driven from their historic homelands by war and oppression. Today, they are a community in crisis, but they provide us with unparalleled access to a library of ancient Gnostic scriptures, as part of the living tradition that has sustained them across the centuries. Gnostic texts such as these have caught popular interest in recent times, as traditional assumptions about the original forms and cultural contexts of related religious traditions, such as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, have been called into question. However, we can learn only so much from texts in isolation from their own contexts. Mandaean literature uniquely allows us not only to increase our knowledge about Gnosticism, and by extension all these other religions, but also to observe the relationship between Gnostic texts, rituals, beliefs, and living practices, both historically and in the present day.

The author begins her exploration of the Christian life with the memory of childhood afternoons spent rocking in green wicker chairs on her grandmother's front porch, listening to the stories of women who came to call. The image of calling as baptismal vocation, the sharing of time and conversation, the vision that informs our choices and actions is vividly described through Westerhoff's stories drawn from her life and work. Narratives of what it means to live as a Christian provide the variations on the baptismal themes of ministry, community, and responsibility in this "song for the baptized."
