Wild Fire is the second book from The Lost Soul series. Right off the heels of the first book, The Butch-a-Cans Are Touching Down on American Soil, and bouncing back and forth from one country to another. Diving back into a world that seems so foreign. It's not the two different countries that make them feel uncomfortable. It's the life-changing love from Christ. Jim always believed in God. However, this is a new realm for his wife, Rhonda. Wild Fire exposes and shows the vulnerabilities and concerns from a new believer's perspective. They travel back into the depths of the Nicaraguan landfill, all while bringing along the once elusive "t-shirt people."
God's clearly protecting this couple as they continue to find themselves in the middle of chaos and danger, only to fully believe without a doubt, who is leading the way. Some would say they need protection, guidance, and this is likely so when Rhonda finds herself on the side of an empty Nicaraguan dirt road, in the middle of the night, with the Nicaraguan police threatening to take her translator to jail. It's as if this couple continues to walk straight into a lion's den, only to find a layer of protection shielding them. What many people would consider a coincidence or lucky break, the Buchanans know it's the love of Christ. They continue to rely on their faith and know it's God who has placed an armor of protection around them.
If you are not sure about "church people" or "believers," you will be captivated by the transformation, as no questions seem to be off-limits with these two. You have probably had the exact same thoughts, questions, and you will find you are not alone. Rhonda has always been a thrill-seeker, looking for adventure at all times. Always looking for that next adrenaline rush. However, this is a rush she did not go looking for, and for once she becomes timid by the "church people," wondering how this all happened, yet not giving up. This journey will pull at your heartstrings, make you laugh, yet at the same time feel the seriousness of it all.
If you have a long-standing relationship with Christ, be prepared to catch yourself wanting to reach out and (kindly) shake them to say, "No, it's not that way. You're only making it harder on yourself." Be prepared to be captivated as they travel into this new world-a world that has changed who they are for life. No going back, yet no idea what will happen as they travel on with nothing but faith.
