We might subconsciously think that our worshipful hearts ensure God’s acceptance. Yet several unsettling Biblical stories challenge this assumption.Troy Miller processes the powerful implications of two Old Testament priests, Nadab and Abihu, whose worship offering was met with God's fury. Unauthorized Fire delves into the disturbing questions this historical account leaves in its wake.In this book you will confront the independent, self-reliant parts of your soul with questions born from this journey. You are able to avoid the pitfalls of Unauthorized Fire as you pursue God with deep surrender and worship.
In this book Troy explores the concept of authentic worship, true submission to scripture, and a philosophical and psychological dive into why these things are difficult. Written as a exploration, and not necessarily as an expert giving instruction, the material is very approachable while having enough depth to get you thinking deeply on the material yourself. The "ponderings" at the end of each chapter are a welcome addition, allowing for a deeper personal study of the material. Overall, a great book that every Christian should explore.
