Firebrand: The Incendiary Life of a Nepali Christian

by G. Tyler Warner

PLUCKED FROM THE FIRE

In the mountains of Nepal, a revolutionary was shot and wounded, his body thrown on the pyre. Just when all hope was lost, he was rescued from the fire, his life preserved for a higher calling.

Raised to take his father’s place as a Hindu priest, then trained as a guerilla soldier, there was one more transformation awaiting him. This fiery youth would soon learn the name of a man called Jesus, and begin a new struggle – not for political change, but for the hearts and souls of his people.

This is the story of Nanda Giri, a Nepali man turned insurgent turned pastor and missionary. His life is a revelation of the grace of God and the power of the Holy Spirit. Through one life, the love of Jesus has spread to some of the most inaccessible places imaginable. Now that same powerful testimony is set to start new fires all over the world.
