In a time when many evangelicals feel spiritually adrift — disillusioned with shallow practices and hungry for authentic Christian growth — A Heart Aflame for God offers a refreshing, biblically grounded path forward. Written by respected theologian Matthew Bingham, this profound and accessible book recovers the robust, soul-shaping resources of the Reformed tradition, showing that Protestants need not look beyond their own heritage for deep spiritual formation.
Drawing on the rich devotional insights of figures like the Puritans, the Dutch Nadere Reformatie, and the Old Princeton theologians, Bingham makes a compelling case for a spirituality that is rooted in Scripture and saturated with grace. From daily disciplines of Bible reading, meditation, and prayer to practices of self-examination, worship, and Christian fellowship, Bingham paints a holistic vision of the Christian life that engages heart, mind, and body in joyful pursuit of God.
Far from a dry academic treatise, A Heart Aflame for God pulses with practical wisdom and pastoral warmth. Bingham is deeply aware of the spiritual hunger and frustration that have led some evangelicals toward Roman Catholicism or Eastern Orthodoxy in search of a deeper faith. He gently yet firmly guides readers back to the Reformation’s own riches, revealing how the “means of grace” — the historic rhythms of Protestant devotion — can nurture authentic, Christ-centred formation today.
Endorsements from leading voices in the Reformed and evangelical world highlight the book’s significance. Joel Beeke, Gavin Ortlund, and Donald Whitney commend it for its clarity, its faithfulness to biblical truth, and its retrieval of long-neglected Reformed practices. Bingham’s writing will resonate with anyone longing for a faith that is both doctrinally sound and spiritually vibrant, providing tools to “keep the heart” in an age of distraction, compromise, and superficiality.
