The Fire Lily is a reflection of sixty years of life, with twenty years in business and twenty years as an ordained priest. Much of this experience has been in leadership roles, with all the trials and tribulations that occur alongside such pastoral duties, not to mention a thirty-five year marriage and a joint lifetime of faith in God. The Fire Lily tackles the nature of sharing one's mind with Jesus, how we can bring ourselves closer to God through sacrificial servanthood, and the true nature of loving unconditionally, without judgement or exclusions. Martin Thrower takes a compassionate look at the faults in the modern institutional Church and how it can fail both its members and its clergy in those times that matter the most. It is not about the ideal or model of the perfect Christian life, though there is of course, nothing wrong with striving towards a goal. Instead, it is as much as possible about reality, and how faith really works in times of stress. Still recovering from his own ordeals, Martin's story shows that even through breakdown and burnout, a faith in God can see you through to the other side.
