Field Notes from a World on Fire: Five Acts of Hope-Filled Resistance for Unsettled Times

When the world feels like it’s on fire, how should Christians respond?

Wars, climate disasters, political polarization, social upheaval, and cultural exhaustion―many people today feel like the world is unraveling. It’s no surprise that anxiety, cynicism, and disengagement are on the rise. In Field Notes from a World on Fire, renowned missiologist (and author of Surprise the World) Michael Frost speaks directly to this moment, offering a hopeful, grounded way for Christians to remain faithful, compassionate, and engaged when the world feels overwhelming.

Drawing on Scripture, cultural insight, and inspiring real-life stories, Frost invites readers to resist despair by cultivating practices that sustain hope, action, and change. Rather than retreating from the chaos of our times, readers will discover how small, faithful acts―rooted in God’s enduring love―can bring light, resilience, justice, and joy even in uncertain days.

In this book, you will discover how to:

Do what’s possible instead of being paralyzed by the scale of the world’s problems

Remember God’s faithfulness and draw hope from the story of God’s work in the world

Look for signs of light where others are living out the values of the kingdom

Manage fear, grief, burnout, and anxiety so you can respond with courage and clarity

Practice humility and contrition while engaging in a fractured and polarized culture

Hope is not naïve optimism―it’s the quiet courage to keep showing up with love, faithfulness, and joy, even when the world feels like it’s burning. Field Notes from a World on Fire is an invitation to live that hope.
