    Set against the stark beauty of the Sonoran Desert, this book is the confessional chronicle of a thrill-seeking journalist whose life is detonated by a single inhalation of toad venom. Drawn into an underground circle devoted to the secretion of the Sonoran Desert Toad, he expects another wild trip in a long history of psychedelic adventures. Instead he is blasted, within seconds, into a blinding ocean of white light where there are no visions, no stories and no “him” at all—only an immense, wordless presence that feels more real than the world he left behind. Repeated encounters with 5-MeO-DMT tear down his old identity and push him to rebuild his worldview from the ground up. The narrative tracks this transformation in vivid detail: desert ceremonies by starlight, ecstatic ego deaths, terrifying dissolutions, and the long, messy work of integrating nondual insight into ordinary life. Along the way, the book reconstructs the modern history of 5-MeO-DMT, explores the emerging mythology of the toad as a living sacrament, and raids Eastern mysticism, Western esotericism and cutting-edge physics metaphors in an effort to make sense of what has been revealed. At once raw and visionary, it is the story of a “tryptamine palace” built not of stone but of consciousness itself—and of what happens when the doors are blown off their hinges.

    How did a small-town boy with no experience become the “Indiana Jones of global relief” with one of the most effective humanitarian organizations in the world? Because God dreams bigger than we do. 
    Join Ken Isaacs on his personal journey from answering God’s “Are you serious?” call through three decades of boots-on-the-ground stories showing us how to be a Good Samaritan no matter where we are. Offering a fascinating behind-the-scenes look into the incredible work of Samaritan’s Purse, this action-packed memoir takes us from the 1989 Ethiopian famine to the 1994 Rwandan genocide to the 2011 Japanese tsunami up to today’s worldwide crises—and the countless decisions, dangers, and prayers along the way. 
    With reflections drawn from Scripture and decades of ministry, Running to the Fire is a testimony to God’s goodness as well as a call to live boldly, love radically, and trust deeply in the God who guides us not away from the fire but through it. 
    Features bonus content only available in the audiobook--including a special word from Franklin Graham plus a presentation by Ken Isaacs on the global mission of Samaritan's Purse.
