Every Christian is faced with the joyful task of the Great Commission, to go into the world and make disciples of all the nations. Thankfully, God has not sent us about this task unprepared. In Primal Fire, Neil Cole reveals and explains the spiritual gifts given by God and how He uses those gifts through us to accomplish His mission. Any reader will be challenged by its contents.
ED STETZER
President, LifeWay Research, and author of Subversive Kingdom
There is always room for a big book about big subjects. How to build a discipleship culture is one of the hottest firestorms in the church today, and this book is the biggest book yet on the very big subject of the APEST team: Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Shepherds, and Teachers.
LEONARD SWEET
Author of The Well-Played Life, professor at Drew University and George Fox University, and chief contributor to sermons.com
Neil Cole is neither traditional nor tame, and he is uniquely positioned to write about the five gifts Jesus gave to the church. He doesnt just talk about the principles in this thought-provoking book; he lives them out as a highly effective apostle within a gifted team that has trained tens of thousands of church planters around the world. Neil forces us to think outside our conventional boxes by shedding fresh light on Scriptures we thought we knew well. I highly recommend Primal Fire for anyone who longs to see a multiplying and maturing move of God.

I am already on record as saying that the Ephesians 4 typology of ministry (APEST) is almost a silver bullet for the church in our day. What I really believe is that it actually is a silver bullet, because it introduces the church to its own authentic ministry and connects us with all the energies associated with the ministry of Christ himself. Primal Fire is a fantastic new addition to the topic at a critical juncture in the churchs trajectory.

I loved this fresh, brilliant, challenging, and thought-provoking book! I will read it slowly at least three times.
BOB ROBERTS
Senior pastor, NorthWood Church, and author of Bold as Love
This book should come with its own fire alarm. It might be too hot for timid or cautious leaders. Neil Cole reignites a flame previously tended by the likes of Wagner, Hirsch, and Breen, and fans it into a roaring blaze, releasing time-honored biblical principles for leaders who want to embrace a genuinely missional paradigm for their churches.

When the well is dry, we know the worth of water.
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
Whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.
JESUS
NEAR MY HOME in Long Beach is a place called Signal Hill, a desirable location for nice homes, with great views of Los Angeles, Long Beach, the Pacific Ocean, and (on a clear day) Catalina Island. On the hillside are two large, beautiful houses that no one has ever lived in. From the time they were built, they have been empty, and today they are boarded up and available at a fraction of the market value for the neighborhood. Nevertheless, no one will buy them. Why? They dont have access to the city water supply. As beautiful and promising as they appear, they lack the most basic utility.
What a tragic picture. How sad to offer so much hope and yet be unable to sustain life.
Most people in North America rarely think about where their water comes from. We see the illustration of snowcapped mountains on the plastic bottle and never stop to think, Hey, I didnt know there were snowcapped mountains in Valencia, California! But its important where we draw our water. A clean and plentiful water source is enough incentive to build an entire city. A bad water source can be a graveyard.
This book is about five important gifts that Jesus gives to the church so that His body can be built to glorify Him throughout the world. The functions of apostle, prophet, evangelist, shepherd, and teacher are of vital importance today but they are often misunderstood because of some less-than-sound teaching that has prevailed. As we seek to restore a proper understanding of these five gifts found in Ephesians 4:11, we feel it is important for you to know where we have gotten our insights. Below are four water sources we have tapped for the ideas in this book.
- Special revelation the Scriptures. First and foremost, all authority for truth comes from what is found plainly in Gods inspired Word. Of course, when it comes to such a study of the Scriptures, we must explain our presuppositions and how we defer authority to various interpretations of key passages.
We started by studying the biblical passages that speak specifically to the roles of apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, and teacher. Some of the gifts (apostle and prophet, in particular) have much more to do with biblical revelation than others (such as pastor).
