5.0 out of 5 stars farewell Petra, you will be missed., January 11, 2006

these guys are my absolute favorite band. the reason is, they are from my hometown of Fort Wayne. they got together in 1974 when I was 3. they will definitely be missed. this is the only CCM band that never went secular. if there is a band that can beat Petra, I have yet to see it. they are like the CCM Cinderella. they can really kick your butt and break your heart, but in a positive light. On Fire mirrors that philosophy. two of my favorite songs are on here are All Fired Up and Hit You Where You Live. another Petra album I recommend is Unseen Power, which is also in my collection. R.I.P. guys-you deserve that retirement.

In my opinion this was Petra's best album musically. Not lyrically, but musically. Their albums from around this period went from a muffled guitar like on Back to the Streets and This Means War to a crunchy in your face metal sound complete with some ripping guitars solos from the annointed psalmeister (that's not a real word BTW:)) of God...Mr. Bob Hartman. If you like Petra hard and raw with an 80's metal vibe then by all means...get this CD. You won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another with killer sound and spiritual impact., October 13, 2004

Counsel of the Holy tries to tug tears from my eyes. I resist but.. First I am weary of trying to identify which of the John Schlitt era Petra albums (CD) is my favorite. They all are! They brilliantly capture the 70's -80's Arena Rock era sound with unmasked praise of the almighty God. No veiled lyrics here. David and the Giants (Giantworld.com) and Petra/John Schlitt are the only dependable bands to put out songs that guarantee I will be able to listen to them over and over and over. If it says David and the Giants or Petra/John Schlitt on the jacket -BUY IT! On fire is one of best, just awesome.
