The biography of Oswald J.Smith, this book is aptly called 'Fire in his bones' for that is surely what he had! Started off as a country bumpkin outside of London Ontario, Oswald, being one of ten, quickly learned the meaning of discipline and hardwork. After he was saved, a burning passion raged inside him to, not only preach, but to reach out to the many across our world who have never heard of Christ. While he becomes a pastor both in the States and later in Toronto, he travels all over the world, motivating the church for missions, and seeing revival fires start and spread as many come to Christ. He starts up People's Church in Toronto which quickly becomes a church on fire for missions as their pastor is. He also starts up numerous organizations including EFC and sees Bible schools open in Europe, writes countless hymns, numerous books which are translated into hundreds of languages. The list goes on and is a real encouragement to us to 'catch the vision', and 'spend all for Christ'.
