Praise and Reviews

In Joab’s Fire, Lynn Squire tells the story of Job in a new setting—one that allowed me to relate to the story’s timeless themes in new ways. The accompanying discussion questions place the story firmly in context with the whole counsel of Scripture. Joab’s Fire eloquently displays the eternal truth that God’s light shines most brightly in darkness.

Lynn Dean, author of Discover Texas, a history curriculum for Christian schools.

Joab’s Fire illustrates how God uses setbacks and tragedies to work in our lives. In the study, Lynn uses scripture to allow God’s healing truth to seep into the hearts and minds of her reader, drawing them closer to the One who leads us not only to the top of the mountain, but through the valleys as well.

Fay Lamb, author of Tatted Angels, Staff writer for Wings of Hope Magazine, and freelance editor.

Like Job in the Old Testament, we wonder how such a good man as Joab Black could suffer so much. Then, through the darkness, we see God’s abiding grace.

Lynn’s writing beautifully portrays how our Heavenly Father raises His children from the ashes.

Linda Strawn, author of Singing Winds.

A compelling saga of faith in the midst of tragedy that will capture your heart and stir up new compassion for those who are suffering around you. I highly recommend this book!

Lisa Jost, singer/songwriter/mother with The Josties, www.josties.com.

Lynn is a master storyteller who weaves her love of Jesus Christ and the truth of His scripture throughout all her writing. Joab’s Fire will ignite a flame of hope and faith within you as you journey with Joab, his wife, and friends through countless tragedies and unimaginable heartache. This book and accompanying Bible study will challenge and encourage you to seek God in the midst of every storm.

Debra Shirley, speaker, author, and Ladies Sunday School Teacher at Tannehill Baptist Church.

Joab's Fire will stir your heart and soul as the NWMP officer seeks to find God's will for his life without realizing that is what he is seeking. Lynn Squire is one of the finest writers I've ever come in contact with. Her writing mirror's her life as she writes for the Christian readers, unafraid to show her love and trust in the God she serves.
