A journey into the depths of faith, suffering, and the love that never lets go. What happens when the certainties of faith dissolve, when the answers no longer answer, and the fire meant to warm you threatens to consume? In On Fire Underwater, Michael Bowman offers a vulnerable, poetic, and unflinching exploration of spiritual unraveling and renewal. With the haunting image of a flannelgraph figure--ablaze and sinking beneath the surface--this book invites you into the sacred tension between burning and drowning, between grief and grace, between disillusionment and divine love. Drawing from Scripture, the mystics, church history, and his own raw experiences, Bowman leads readers through thirteen meditative reflections that confront the ache of longing, the reality of suffering, and the hidden beauty of becoming. This is not a book of easy answers. It is a companion for those who feel lost, undone, or caught between worlds. For anyone who has ever whispered, ""There must be more,"" this book is your invitation to wrestle, to weep, to wonder--and still believe in the only thing that remains: love. Even underwater, the fire burns.

Reviews for On Fire Underwater

""If the title wasn't enough, the book makes clear Michael is a metaphor magician navigating the waters of deconstruction with expansive insights and elegance. This is an important book for those in the searching zone. For all that gravitate toward story and lyric, this is a possible route to find their way back to center in Jesus."" --Ron Martoia, Executive Coach and Consultant, Wildly Better ""With the tenderness of a father and the freshness of one who has encountered the Father, Michael Bowman sets us aflame with the Holy Spirit as he dives deeply into himself and humanity as objectives of God's affections. Experience the world afresh through Michael's spiritual eyes, feel its heartbeat thrum through his words, and immerse yourself in the insatiable fires and restorative waters of grace with his vulnerability."" --Thomas Fuerst, author of Prophetic Peril: The Rhetoric of Nineteenth-Century African American Call Narratives
