As a symbol, fire represents the purifying and enlightening power of divine truth. But fires don’t start from nothing; they must be sparked, carefully fed, and sheltered within safe bounds. In Like a Fire Burning, Merrijane Rice follows this journey from spark to roaring flame through poems inspired by the latter-day revelations recorded in the Doctrine and Covenants.

These poems bridge the gap between the ordinary and the divine by weaving personal experiences with revelations delivered through the prophet Joseph Smith and others. The author examines her relationship with her children, explores how her heart has turned toward her deceased parents, and delves into her connection with a Savior whose presence is as real and immediate now as ever. This volume not only celebrates the burning faith of the Restoration but also invites readers to kindle and feed their own inner flames of testimony.
