In That Furnace of Fire

Order this book

"In That Furnace of Fire" is a testimony written with honesty, humility, and unwavering faith. The author, Jesther M. Madriv , shares deeply personal experiences from within the life of a religious community—though unnamed, it reflects realities common in many Christian circles today. This little book is neither a novel nor a fictional account, but a faithful portrayal of how the fire of trial can reveal both the gold of true faith and the shadows that sometimes lurk even in the holiest of places.

The title, inspired by Daniel 3, powerfully captures the spiritual climate of communities where doctrinal purity is sometimes overshadowed by human interests, emotional manipulation, or decisions driven more by human wisdom than by the Word of God. As the author walks us through painful paths—betrayal, spiritual infidelity, misuse of authority, and undue control over vulnerable souls—she also reveals how God remains present in the midst of the flames, faithful to His promises and sustaining those who trust in Him.

This book does not seek to condemn the Church, but rather to purify the vision of those who are part of it. It is a call to examine our hearts, question our motivations, and evaluate our leaders and structures in the light of Scripture. Most importantly, it reminds us of the truth found in 2 Timothy 2:19: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and all who bear His name must turn away from wickedness.

The work serves a dual purpose: it functions as both a pastoral warning and a source of spiritual comfort . For those who have been wounded within the body of Christ, it offers hope and healing; for church leaders, it invites reflection, self-examination, and accountability.

"In That Furnace of Fire" is highly recommended not only for pastors and church leaders, but for every Christian committed to biblical truth, willing to stand firm in the face of trials, and determined to glorify God in every season of life.
