Official Description from Amazon

What happens when two philosophically-minded friends sit down around a firepit to chat about life’s biggest topics? Within these pages, you’ll find out. In The Bonfire Sessions: A Year of Shadow and Flame, authors and podcasters Matthew J. Distefano and Michael Machuga give their readers a glimpse into their very real lives, modeling for others what they believe conversation should look like.

With rawness and vulnerability, as well as a large dose of salty language, this set of conversations delivers quite a punch. Sometimes funny, sometimes profound, but always honest, the two hosts of The Bonfire Sessions podcast come together to deliver the entire Year One collection of booklets that will be sure to challenge your heart, soul, and mind. So, pour your favorite drink and fill your long-stemmed pipe, and get ready for some high-quality fellowship.

My Quick Review

Reading “The Bonfire Sessions: A Year of Shadow and Flame” by Matthew J. Distefano and Michael Machuga is like sitting down with two of your most brilliant friends who invite you into their most unguarded conversations about God, faith, and the human experience. This is not idle chitchat. These guys dive headfirst into the depths and heights of the human spirit. Matthew and Michael prove that you don’t have to agree on everything to walk together in genuine love. Don’t miss this opportunity to walk with two mystics on the road away from certainty as they journey toward a more love centered life.
