Fire in the Fireplace offers an updated historical and analytical survey of charismatic renewal as it appeared in the 1990s. Charles Hummel traces recent shifts, assessing which strands grew, which waned, and how renewal practices entered broader church life.

The book examines influential movements — including the Vineyard, the so-called Third Wave, the Kansas City prophetic stream, and the rise of prosperity or "health and wealth" teaching — and asks what questions they raise for theology and congregational practice. Hummel roots his analysis in Scripture while keeping a measured, historical perspective.

Useful for pastors, theology students, and thoughtful church members, the work combines historical narrative with clear evaluation of contemporary trends and likely directions for charismatic expression.
