Michael Charles Olson
In this lyrical and deeply personal memoir, Michael Charles Olson revisits the burnt beams and smoldering memories of his Pentecostal boyhood—where faith, fire, and fatherhood collide in unexpected ways. Told with humor, heartbreak, and hard-earned wisdom, Daddy Set the Church on Fire is a coming-of-age story set against the rhythm of worship music, the scent of burnt pews, and the aching complexity of a son learning to forgive a complicated father.
When a late-night blaze destroys the sanctuary at the heart of his childhood, young Michael must confront a loss far greater than brick and wood. What unfolds is an authentic journey through generational trauma, spiritual formation, and the redemptive power of music, memory, and grace.
Equal parts soulful memoir and spiritual reflection, this book is for anyone who’s looking to find the power to forgive while looking for God in the ashes.
